Summary
The epigenome’s dynamic nature and it’s responsiveness to environmental changes make it particularly attractive in the study of health and disease. This interest has resulted in various technologies for mapping it in individual samples, such as microarrays and Nanopore sequencing. This data science project aims to optimize and combine the benefits of these technologies to generate detailed maps of the epigenome across multiple individuals. By doing so, we can better understand how to make best use of the tools available to advance our understanding of how the epigenome influences the development of disease.
