Mary Gehring

Mary Gehring’s lab focuses on plant epigenetics — that is, the heritable information that influences cellular function but is not encoded in the DNA sequence itself. They use genetic, genomic and molecular biology approaches to study the fidelity of epigenetic inheritance and the dynamics of epigenomic reprogramming during reproduction, primarily in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. More specifically, they investigate the interplay among repetitive sequences, DNA methylation and chromatin structure in these dynamic processes.
