  • Summary

  • In DNA& Imprinting, Hannah and Angelos explore how 50% of our DNA comes from each parent, but only 1% "remembers" its origin. These male and female patterns of padlocks (DNA methylation and other epigenetic modifications) are both needed to make a healthy baby... but could this change? And what, really, is the difference between Ligers and Tigons? Featuring Dr Gavin Kelsey (Head of the Epigenetics programme at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge).

    DNA& is supported by the UK Genetics Society and The Society for Endocrinology.

    Episode writing credits: Dr Hannah Maude and Angelos Manolias (Imperial College London), Dr Gavin Kelsey.
