William Tansey, professor of cell and developmental biology and biochemistry and co-leader of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Genome Maintenance Program, gives us a bird’s-eye view of epigenetics and some of Vanderbilt’s research contributions to the space. Read More

Research led by Emily Hodges, assistant professor of biochemistry, first-author Lindsey Guerin, a graduate student in the Hodges lab, and Kelly Barnett, a recent graduate of the Hodges lab, developed and tested a new method called ATAC-Me, which profiles multiple epigenetic features, including DNA methylation, simultaneously from a single DNA… Read More
