The CEGR is composed of ten laboratories with over 70 students and staff. We aim to provide a conducive learning environment for making cutting edge discoveries on fundamental mechanisms of eukaryotic gene regulation. Most labs share common space to promote a community of interactions. Academic Environment The research interests of all CEGR members are focused on…

August 30, 2016 – Ribosomal Protein (RP) genes are co-regulated in the genome, under the control of multiple regulators: Rap1, Fhl1, Ifh1, Sfp1, and Hmo1. A majority of RP genes contain a Rap1 motif upstream of the TSS. It has been shown that Rap1 acts as a master regulator, recruiting other TFs to mediate RPG regulation….

Discovered: How to unlock inaccessible genes 29 January 2016 It was known that the DNA in cells is wrapped around proteins in structures called nucleosomes that resemble beads on a string, which allow the genetic material to be folded and compacted into a structure called chromatin. “We knew that the compaction into chromatin makes genes…
