Getting smashed

Have you ever wondered why identical twins can share exactly the same DNA, but still seem to have differences? Well part of that may be due to epigenetics, or how DNA is coiled up within a cell such that some parts are easier to access and use than others. Today's guest Tess Korthout studies the epigenetics of yeast cells to answer questions about gene regulation and cancer.Suggested Reading:Tess' chromatin proteome research paper:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/12/09/229955Tess' lab website:https://www.nki.nl/divisions/gene-regulation/van-leeuwen-fr-group/Pioneering article in Discover Magazine:http://discovermagazine.com/2006/nov/coverFinally a great TED talk about epigenetics:https://www.ted.com/talks/moshe_szyf_how_early_life_experience_is_written_into_dnaFollow me: PhDrinking@gmail.com, @PhDrinking, @SadieWit, www.facebook.com/PhDrinking/Follow Tess Korthout: @tesskorthoutThanks to www.bensound.com/ for the intro/outroThanks to @TylerDamme for audio editing

A message from Lauren:During graduate school, I have been funded by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Program, the National Institutes of Health, and the University of North Carolina Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders. The content presented in this podcast is solely my responsibility and does not necessarily reflect the official views of the funders. I also thank my mentors-- including Cindy Bulik, Jessica Baker, Patrick Sullivan and Yoav Gilad-- and assure the listening audience that any error in this podcast is due to my inadequacies as a student rather than theirs as teachers. Hopefully this interview demonstrated the innovation in the eating disorder field, and highlighted some of the questions that remain. Currently, most eating disorders research (including most of my own) focuses on individuals with anorexia nervosa. More funding and research is clearly needed in this area. However, it is also extremely important to increase the number of studies in eating disorders outside of anorexia nervosa. Therefore, I strongly advocate for increased funding to study the biological bases of each eating disorder.
