Zu den Vorträgen
Welcome on the website of our workgroup EpiGenetics.
Our group investigates mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance regulation. Epigenetic mechanisms are transmitted through secondary modifications of chromosomes. DNA-Methylation and a set of complex histone modifications play a central role as heritable chromosomal marks which affect the regulation of many biological processes.
Epigenetics provides new concepts for the understanding of genetic regulation and is of great importance for all biological systems and biomedical research.
