Project summary:
Epigenetic diversity is a hidden component of natural biodiversity about which little is known. To better understand the ecological significance of epigenetic diversity, the field of Ecological Epigenetics has to be advanced. In sEpiDiv we will identify the most urgent questions, outline a European research agenda, and sketch out study designs for ecological epigenetics. This will result in the publication of a ‘Methodological Guide’, a bioinformatics toolkit and a set of bioinformatics pipelines on the High-Performance-Computing cluster at iDiv, and an application for a European Training Network.
