Funded Activity Summary

The building of a complex organism, such as a human embryo, is a self-directed process driven by the genetic information inherited from the parents. As the cells differentiate into a diverse array of tissues, the genetic information does not change. What does change is the epigenetic state of the genome in each cell type. We still understand little about this epigenetic reprogramming except that mistakes in the process lead to death and disease. Our work aims to address this lack of knowledge
