Weirdest question we came up with at #39c3:
If #Chemotherapy quite frequently changes hair color, is this an indicator that hair color is in part defined by an #epigenetic mechanism? Will there be pills to change hair color in the future? I’ll need to ask one of the friends who have students explore strange stuff about this…

Our PhD program IMPRS-EBM looks for applications. 📢

Want to work at the forefront of epigenetic research at a MPI? Looking for a fully-funded #phdPosition at Max Planck?

We invite you to go on a scientific journey with us at the forefront of epigenetic research. Our MPI-IE & @unifreiburg faculty are committed to understanding **#epigenetic** mechanisms from a molecular biology perspective, complemented by the lenses of **#metabolism** & **#biophysics**.

This global profiling of lysine-malonylated #proteins in #rice leaf sheaths, and the changes in these proteins under biotic stresses, reveals #epigenetic mechanisms for developing #crops with broad-spectrum stress #resistance.

What do trees remember?

“For trees, memory is not a metaphor but a biological reality, written into their cells.

One remarkable form this takes is #epigenetic memory: the ability of a tree to record its life experiences and allow them to shape its future, without changing its DNA.

Membra (Understanding Memory of #UK Treescapes for Better Resilience & Adaptation) studies a number of ecologically vital & culturally significant #trees.”

Great talk by Guy Ron at the #MCBIM mini-symposium at Leiden University.

He talked about multiplexed, single-molecule methods to detect #epigenetic modifications that are important in #cancer and can be used for #diagnosis.

Gene expression is tuned by #epigenetic changes, which explains why, say, liver and skin cells have the same genome but are otherwise different. Here we introduce a
#Bayesian model for the analysis of epigenetic changes during development. https://epigeneticsandchromatin.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13072-025-00594-6
