ABSTRACT:
Our lab is interested is understanding the function and mechanisms of
the regulatory DNA, e.g. enhancers, that encodes the gene regulatory
networks driving diverse biological processes, such as development and
immunity. I will discuss a few efforts to use evolutionary comparisons
as a strategy to understand mechanisms of enhancer function, using
Drosophila as a model system.
