Results for "gene regulation"

Projects

Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation during mammalian development

Project Lead:
Description:

The Vokes lab asks fundamental questions about how embryos generate specific organs and how transcriptional repression and epigenetic regulation influence these processes. Our studies utilize mice as a genetic system…

Evolutionary variation in genes, brains and behaviors

Project Lead:
Description:

The Phelps lab is broadly interested in animal social behavior, its brain mechanisms, and how those mechanisms evolve. We do a variety of work ranging from mechanisms of gene regulation to the fitness consequences of…
