|
| |
| # Understand how chromatin states relate to gene expression
| |
| # How epigenomes of various stem cells change during differentiation; and how the characteristic tissue-specific epigenomes change during reprogramming
| |
| # How chromatin modification (DNA methylation and histone modification) are established and maintained; in particular identification of genomic features that allow prediction of epigenetically labile genes
| |
| # Contribution of chromatin state to variability or "noise" in transcription
| |
| # Computational analysis of epigenetics modification patterns
| |
| # Genome organization and evolution
