Changes to intracellular metabolism confer widespread variations in epigenetic patterns and a retrograde signal may mediate chromatin modifications at regions containing photosynthesis genes. The student will be involved in a large project where we determine the distribution of important modifications of histone H3 and identify the proteins such as transcription factors or chromatin remodellers associated with those specific modifications.
