  • Podcast: Epigenetics – The Programming of Our Cells
    In an episode of the German Human Genome Phenome Archive (GHGA) science podcast titled "Der Code des Lebens”, Prof. Dr. Julia Schulze-Hentrich and Prof. Dr. Jörn Walter shed light on the epigenetic programs of our cells in the context of development, aging and disease (available in German).
  • Webinar – A Beginner's Guide to Epigenetics
    In the webinar ‚A Beginner’s Guide to Epigenetics’, as part of the training series by the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA), Dr. Kathrin Kattler (Saarland University) provides a brief overview of epigenetic modifications and mechanisms.
  • Webinar – A Beginner's Guide to Epigenetics Part II: Epigenetic Toolbox
    In the second part of the webinar ‚A Beginners Guide to Epigenetics – Epigenetic Toolbox’, as part of the training series by the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA), Dr. Kathrin Kattler (Saarland University) explains common methods for genome-wide analysis of epigenetic modifications and highlights key strategies for data analysis and interpretation.
  • Futurium - Discussion "Epigenetics - The language of the genes"
    German only - Mit neuem Wissen gegen Erkrankung und Trauma? Sind traumatische Erlebnisse vererbbar? Geben wir individuelle Erfahrungen durch unsere Gene an die nächste Generation weiter?
