研究领域

The epigenetic control of gene expression, with special focus on the chicken sex chromosome genes. We were first to demonstrate avian dosage compensation for chicken sex chromosome genes and continue to investigate the mechanisms employed in both dosage compensation and sex determination in chickens.
