Brief description Epigenetic marks are changes made to the DNA which help genes to be switched off in some cells and switched on in others e.g. for elastin to be switched on in skin and off in blood. Epigenetic marks are critical to normal development. We are interested in the genes that are necessary to add epigenetic marks to the DNA and understanding how the many genes involved in this process co-operate at the molecular level to switch genes off.
