Development, heredity and structure. Postdoc, https://t.co/h3PPClRkQN Columbia University PhD, @wbderry lab University of Toronto
Manhattan, NYC
Joined September 2011
Why are so many inherited traits not explained by genome sequence variation? In my PhD work with @wbderry we describe a new mechanism of inheritance in animals that may account for this ‘missing heritability' 🧵
