Making connections between epigenetics and evolution with Dr Peter Sarkies

Welcome back for another episode! This week we chat to Dr Peter Sarkies from Imperial College London / MRC LMS! Peter is a senior lecturer running his own laboratory which aims to make connections between epigenetic gene regulation and evolution. Peter talks to us all about his research involving investigation of a wide range of epigenetic pathways including small RNA's such as Piwi interacting RNAs (piRNAs), DNA methylation and histone modification. Talking about RNAs is a first for us on the podcast, so we really enjoyed listening to everything Peter had to say!
