The Lipsick Laboratory

at Stanford University

    Our laboratory studies the structure and function of chromosomes and chromatin in metazoans.  The Myb protein family provides us with a useful window for exploring chromosome and chromatin biology.  Proteins that contain Myb domains regulate gene expression, nucleosome assembly and remodeling, histone modification, telomere maintenance, and centromere identity.
