Hi, I am Nina, a Master's student at HU, currently doing my project module in the Ringrose Lab.
The field of epigenetics has always fascinated me as it aims to answer the question of how gene regulation varies among different cell types. Polycomb and Trithorax response elements (PRE/TREs) play an important role in cell specific gene regulation and have been studied extensively in Drosophila. However, little is known about their functionality in mammalian cells. To elucidate specific PRE/TREs motifs with 'GTGT'-repeats in the mouse genome, we use a combination of computational analysis and experimental approaches. This hybrid project is made possible for me by the mentoring of Natalia and Paniz.
