My lab works on a variety of related topics in evolution and regulatory genomics.
REGULATORY GENOMICS: Exploring the biology of eukaryotic gene regulation.
- Identification of equivalence classes of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs)
- Characterization of genomic properties of CRM equivalence classes
- Mechanisms of gene regulation
EVOLUTION: Understanding general principles of DNA-based evolutionary systems.
- Elucidating the origin of particular eukaryotic regulons
- Diversification of gene regulatory signatures
- Regulatory parallelisms
- Role of the bHLH family in early holozoan/metazoan radiation
- Early chordate evolution
- Stem holozoan biology
- The role of linkage reduction in genomic architecture
