Cancer Epigenetics project

University of Otago Department of Pathology

Broad Project Summary: Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Epigenetic changes are now recognised as a hallmark feature of cancer, but our understanding of factors that are responsible for tumour spread still remains limited. Read more

Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more

Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

V(D)J recombination is essential to produce an effective adaptive immune system but since the reaction involves breakage and rejoining of DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more

Understanding control of genome folding by cohesin

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.

Unlocking the genetic potential of barley by modulating recombination

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

Barley is a major worldwide crop used for malting and animal feed. However, breeding new varieties is constrained by the frequency of genetic crossovers (1-3 crossovers per chromosome pair) and their distribution (biased towards the chromosome ends) that underpin crop improvement1,2. Read more

Understanding the transcriptional regulation of BK polyomavirus

University of Birmingham Institute of Microbiology and Infection

As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses rely on host-cell machinery to facilitate their lifecycle. Nuclear-replicating DNA viruses are exposed to factors that can dictate the transcriptional output of the invading viral genome and ultimately influence infection outcome. Read more
