Genomic imprinting in human stem cells and human peripheral blood leukocytes
Imperial College London, UK (2009)
My research focusses on the molecular genetics of seed development in Arabidopsis. I am investigating the interactions between DNA methylation and transcription in the seed, and the effects of genomic imprinting on resource allocation.
