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, epigenetic
inheritance, nucleosome assembly and remodeling, histone modification,
telomere maintenance, and centromere identity.
