OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Cytosine methylation provides a mechanism to heritably alter plant and animal genomes without permanent modification of the DNA sequence. In flowering plants, DNA methylation patterns are faithfully reproduced across many generations, so that methylation shapes the inheritance of plant traits. I will present our recent results that elucidate how plants ensure the accurate and reliable inheritance of DNA methylation.
