Principal Investigator: Joseph R Ecker
Salk Institute for Biological Studies
Title: “Epigenomic mapping approaches for cell-type classification in the brain”
BRAIN Category: Census of Cell Types (RFA MH-14-215)

Dr. Ecker’s group will use signatures of epigenetics, the switching on-and-off of genes in response to experience, in mouse frontal cortex to help identify different classes of cells and understand their function.
