Epigenetics
Study in epigenetics investigates how extra-genic information, such as DNA methylation or histone modification, is established and functions to control gene expression in a wide variety of cell types and processes.
MCGD faculty in particular study epigenetic mechanisms in many systems, including stem cells, early embryogenesis, neurons, and limb development, among others.
