EPIGEN

The goal of the EPIGEN project is to understand how epigenetic mechanisms regulate biological processes, determine phenotypic variation and contribute to the onset and progression of diseases. The project is highly multidisciplinary and involves more than 40 italian research teams, working in close collaboration using a wide range of experimental models applying mainly genomewide approaches. The participants are all academic laboratories, based in research institutions from all over Italy, who share a commitment to perform cutting edge epigenomics research.
