Daniel studies cytosine methylation as a mechanism for epigenetic inheritance.

He uses Arabidopsis alongside other evolutionary significant species to understand how the pattern of methylation is both inherited and altered over generations to influence developmental processes such as flowering.

Daniel is working with mathematical modelers to understand how methylation is controlled and how it can subtly manipulate gene expression.

Daniel is also interested in the mechanism of demethylation during genomic imprinting.
