  2. Outline examples of DNA methylation controlling T cell function.
  3. Outline examples of histone modifications controlling T cell function.
  4. Describe examples of epigenetic factors contributing to organ transplant rejection in rodent models.
  5. Describe a clinical example of epigenetic drug targeting in allogenic bone marrow transplantation to alleviate GVHD.
  6. Outline basic concepts in genomics and epigenomics.
  7. Describe 3-dimensional regulatory architectures of inflammatory genes in T cells.
