Presentation

Do chromatin structure, chromosome motion and genome organization regulate nuclear processes? To address this question we investigate the functional relationship between the location of a gene, its inherent dynamics and its response to stimuli. We analyze epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression in mammary tumor cells, investigating in particular the role of histone variants and 3D folding of chromatin domains at estrogen receptor target genes. We develop techniques to visualize and image DNA in living cells, at the level of single loci and the whole genome, at high resolution, and methods to quantitatively analyze and model the data. Our challenge is experimentally acting upon structure to probe impact on function.
