The Bioinformatics Competence Center (BICC) contributed to an exciting study that provided new insights into the role played by epigenetics in memory formation.

Through a successful collaboration with Giulia Santoni (Johannes Gräff's lab), and an in-depth analysis of single-cell multi-omics datasets, the BICC contributed to shedding light on the specific transcriptomics and epigenetics profiles of neurons recruited into the “memory trace”.
