Students in this training group work with a diverse group of faculty who employ an extensive range of experimental approaches with the goal of understanding chromatin and regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Recent advances in the identification of chromatin modifying proteins and in the elaboration of the histone code hypothesis illustrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches in gaining insights into this exciting area of research. Students also have the opportunity to examine the effect of chromatin on other DNA-based processes such as replication, recombination, and repair. All students receive broad training in genetic, biochemical, and genome-based approaches in analysis of these fundamental processes.
Training Groups are topic-oriented research groups consisting of faculty from multiple departments.
Training groups are an administrative home for PULSe students, a student choice that impacts
curriculum and research training activities.
