Teach Me in 10 – Microbial Epigenomics With Dr Pedro Oliveira
In this instalment of Teach Me in 10, we're joined by Dr Pedro Oliveira, Senior Scientist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, whose scientific interests center on the bioinformatics, comparative genomics and epigenomics of bacteria, particularly the interplay between methylation, gene flux and chromosome organization. In just 10 minutes, he teaches us about his use of third generation sequencing technologies to boost the field of epigenomics.
Dr Oliveira's recent publications:
- Conserved DNA Methyltransferases: A Window into Fundamental Mechanisms of Epigenetic Regulation in Bacteria
- Epigenomic characterization of Clostridioides difficile finds a conserved DNA methyltransferase that mediates sporulation and pathogenesis
