Title: Investigating the effects of TGFBeta
signalling on epigenetic regulation of germ cells during fetal development
Synopsis: Fetal germ cell development is a
complex process which includes epigenetic reprogramming. The PIWI/piRNA
pathway is crucial for the repression of transposable elements during this
time, and little is known about how methylation is controlled. TGFbeta
signalling is an important pathway involved in testis development and my
project will test the hypothesis that changes in TGFbeta signalling will alter
PIWI/piRNA machinery synthesis.
