Network Genomics -- Population Variation -- Evolutionary Constraint

Our goal is to construct genome regulatory networks of mammalian development, and understand how regulatory variation (in regulatory regions or in proteins) perturbs or extends such networks. We are using the mouse due to its significant advantages as an experimental model system. These studies are informed by our evolutionary constraint analyses on genomes and proteomes.

We are also using our expertise in genomics and evolution to understand cancer progression.
