Developmental Epigenome Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores how genomic information is inherited and protected from fertilization to the next generation.

AboutAbout the lab
Inheritance and reorganization of the genome and epigenome.
The Developmental Epigenome Lab works to understand and control the inheritance and reorganization of genomic and epigenomic information throughout the development of an individual.
It focuses in particular on early development, pluripotent stem cells derived from early embryos, and the developmental cycle of germ cells. The lab is also part of the Human ES Cell Research Center, where it carries out quality control of pluripotent stem cells and develops new technologies.
For the admission of graduate students, applicants are asked to contact the lab.
Key terms
- Epigenome
- The full set of chemical marks that switch gene activity on and off without changing the DNA sequence
- Germ cell
- A cell that passes genetic information to the next generation, such as sperm and egg
- Genetic stability
- The maintenance of genetic information without change as cells divide
ResearchResearch themes
The lab is working to clarify how developmental and differentiation programs relate to the control of genetic stability, and explores the possibility of reconstituting that relationship.
