Working Group 3:
Cross-species Epigenetics, Gametogenesis and Embryogenesis
Lead
Dr Amos Tandler
Deputy-Lead
Prof Pascale Chavatte-Palmer
Aims
To establish the inter-specific differences in their epigenetic response to environmental and nutritional cues and how subsequent environment and nutrition affects long term responses such as sex control, growth, malformations, metabolism, etc
To compare the potential of animals whose fertilization and embryonic development is external such as fish, limited by a shell such as birds and that of mammalians whose fertilization and embryonic development are internal, in order to develop model species
To identify and evaluate the use of factors that promote epigenetic response in lower vertebrates such as fish for improved growth and health and quality in fish and farm animals
To establish protocols for in vitro models for testing of epigenetic responses to chemical (pollutants) and nutritional factors
