OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.

I will present our recent results that elucidate how plants ensure the accurate and reliable inheritance of DNA methylation.
