Genomics and Epigenomics

Facilities for genomic and epigenomic research can be extremely useful in the fight against emerging diseases.

Scientists can identify the genes and proteins of infections by sequencing their genomes; these genes and proteins can subsequently be used as targets for vaccinations and medications.

Studies on the genome and epigenome can also help researchers better understand how pathogens change over time and adapt, which can be used to create ways to stop them from developing drug resistance.

This session describes the most current projects carried out by Area Science Park Genomics and Epigenomics lab.
