Scholar-generated biography
Xiaotong Wu is an associate researcher at Tsinghua University, focusing on development biology, epigenome, oogenesis, germ cell, and early embryogenesis. Their research explores the molecular mechanisms underlying early mammalian development, including allelic reprogramming of histone modifications and the role of enhancer dememorization during the parental-to-zygotic transition. Wu's work also investigates the epigenetic regulation of zygotic genome activation and the genetic programs governing oocyte maturation and germ cell development. Using model organisms like zebrafish, they examine how maternal factors, such as Huluwa and cdc6, influence embryonic body axis formation and microtubule organization. Additionally, Wu studies the impact of DNA demethylation and nuclear pore complex maturity on embryonic development.
