More specifically, we have been studying the roles of the condensin and
cohesin complexes in 3D genome organization in the fission yeast, mouse and
human systems.
By combining the fission yeast, mouse, and
human systems with the latest genomic, genetic, cell biological, and biochemical approaches, we seek to determine how condensin and
cohesin organize the functional 3D genome structures and participate in various biological processes, including transcriptional regulation and chromosomal dynamics, and how they contribute to oncogenic processes.
