Transposons and epigenetic priming of enhancers within early human embryo development with Dr Christopher Todd

In today's episode I spoke again to Dr Christopher Todd from the Babraham institute. Chris is a postdoctoral researcher in Wolf Reiks lab who talked to me about transposable elements and epigenetic priming of enhancers with human embryonic development. Chris gave a great talk at GREECS 2022 where he discussed his research and I absolutely loved his talk, so immediately messaged him to join me on the podcast!

If like me, you feel unclear on what exactly are transposable elements, the details of their function & classification and want to learn more about enhancer priming, stay tuned to learn lots! Even if you do know these things, I guarantee you will still learn so much from Chris! Hope you all enjoy!
