This course will investigate the mechanism and function of epigenetics as it relates to sexual and reproductive behavior. Epigenetics refers to changes in phenotype or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the DNA sequence. Course topics may include epigenetic mechanisms influencing maternal care, environmental epigenetics (i.e. intrauterine environment, toxin exposure), X-chromosome inactivation, maternal inheritance, epigenetics and mate choice, and epigenetics of sex differences. The course will include exploring research in epigenetics as it relates to reproductive behavior through both discussion/analysis of current research articles and seminars by leaders in the field of epigenetics.
