Epigenetics and the genome

Scientists explain their work and invite to a Kahoot

“Epigenetics” and the 3D genome architecture play a crucial role in the highly orchestrated process of gene regulation.

What are current open research questions in these fields that scientists work on? 13 fellows explain their projects in two different videos, informally and formally.

These can serve a teacher as a basis to stimulate discussions with the pupils, who also see that researchers are “normal” people. Furthermore, teachers and their pupils will be able to do a quiz with 35 questions to check their knowledge around DNA and the genome.
