项目摘要
Project Summary/Abstract
Epigenetic modifications regulate genome function. My research is focused on defining the
scope, mechanisms, and functional consequences of epigenome dynamics during development,
using the powerful genetic model system Arabidopsis thaliana. DNA methylation (5-
methylcytosine) is a heritable epigenetic mark associated with highly intertwined processes
including transcriptional gene silencing, transposable element (TE) repression, and regulation of
genomic imprinting. DNA methylation is concentrated in TEs to prevent their transcription and
proliferation, but this genome defense system comes at a potential cost – the methylation of
TEs or their remnants can inappropriately silence the transcription of proximal protein-coding
genes. Active DNA demethylation by 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylases (also referred to as
DNA demethylases) functions to counteract DNA methyltransferases. But how these two
antagonistic activities are balanced to maintain the genome in a stable epigenetic state – where
transposable elements are kept methylated and silenced and genes are kept relatively free of
methylation and can be expressed – is a major question across eukaryotes and is one focus of
our current research. Our efforts in this area will significantly increase understanding of how the
activity of epigenetic pathways is modulated in response to the state of the epigenome and how
this information is integrated over cellular, developmental, and generational time scales.
Although epigenetic homeostasis appears to be a major force in the soma, developmentally-
regulated epigenetic reprogramming is essential for successful reproduction. DNA
demethylation in the female gamete establishes imprinted gene expression in a placenta-like
extra-embryonic seed tissue after fertilization. A critical unanswered question is how epigenetic
changes that are initiated by DNA demethylation are subsequently maintained, or not, when
maternal and paternal genomes are combined after fertilization and as cells take on distinct
identities. My laboratory applies diverse genetic, genomic, computational, and comparative
evolutionary approaches to address these fundamental questions in epigenetics.

表观遗传修饰调节基因组功能。我的研究重点是定义

转座因子保持甲基化和沉默,基因保持相对自由,

这些信息在细胞、发育和世代时间尺度上被整合。
虽然表观遗传的稳态似乎是索马的主要力量,但在发育上-
受调控的表观遗传重编程对成功繁殖至关重要。DNA
雌性配子中的去甲基化在胎盘样细胞中建立了印记基因表达,
受精后的胚外种子组织。一个关键的未解问题是表观遗传
由DNA去甲基化引发的变化随后被维持,或不被维持,当
在受精后,随着细胞呈现出不同的

进化的方法来解决表观遗传学中的这些基本问题。
