RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The Bulyk Lab investigates transcriptional regulation. We are particularly interested in transcriptional enhancers and the interactions between sequence-specific transcription factors and their DNA binding sites. For these studies, we develop genomic, proteomic, and computational technologies and approaches and apply them to a wide variety of biological organisms including the yeast S. cerevisiae, the fruit fly D. melanogaster, mouse and human.
