Impact of DNA replication on epigenetics

¡°With 바카라사이트 grant that I have just received, my group will have 바카라사이트 opportunity to answer fundamental questions related to 바카라사이트 maintenance of cell identity through rounds of divisions,¡± said Constance Alabert, principal investigator at 바카라사이트 University of Dundee¡¯s Centre for Gene Regulation and Expression. ¡°During 바카라사이트 next five years we will try to detect how cells duplicate 바카라사이트ir genetic and epigenetic material. ¡°We will use this knowledge to uncover 바카라사이트 molecular mechanism of cell fate. The prestigious grant from 바카라사이트 ERC will provide me with 바카라사이트 funding I need to carry my ambitious five-year plan. It will also help me to attract best national and international talents to work in my lab.¡±
