Program Themes:

The program serves to coordinate DCI research activities related to:

1. Cancer genetics

2. Epigenetics

3. Gene expression (transcriptional and post-transcriptional)

4. Application of genomics technologies to assay alterations in cancer genomes, epigenomes and transcriptomes.

Focus groups:

1.Epigenetics and Epigenomics

2.DNA Replication, Recombination and Repair

3.Gene Expression

Activities:

• A monthly lunch talk series on Cancer Genetics and Genomics will be the core program-wide activity.  Speakers will be chosen to broadly represent the program goals and will facilitate program-wide interaction and provide a venue for collaboration.

• Yearly MGG program retreat for PIs and staff.  The retreat will rotate focus so that a particular focus group is highlighted on a given year.
