Below is a list of publications that was up to date on 26.January.2010. The research page gives an overview of various problems we work on with some key publications highlighted. This page contains a complete list of publications. For copies of any papers feel free to email me and I will send along a pdf (this includes chapters).
The various problems we work on can be divided in a few main conceptual areas (see the 'research' page for details). The publications listed below follow these major headings, with some overlap between the lists (with unclassified publications listed under the 'miscellaneous' heading):
.genomic.imprinting. .books.
Under each of these major 'themes' is a list of a few selected (mainly the most recent) publications. A more complete list of publications is available via the 'publications' link (but it's not always up to date). You can use the links above to jump to a particular topic or scroll down to look through the various problems we work on . You can also find us on pubmed.
