RNA is key to the dark matter of the genome βˆ’ scientists are sequencing it to illuminate human health and disease | The-14

Scientists are sequencing all human RNA to map the RNome, uncover hidden gene regulation, and unlock new treatments for cancer and disease.

In this Commentary, Zhang et al. discuss the novel strategy developed by Chen et al. that improves drought tolerance in #rice, by connecting rhizosphere #ecology, gaseous signaling, and #epigenetic control.

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. πŸ“’

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**.
