Chromatin, Chromosomes, & Epigenetics Faculty

Previously Chromatic and Epigenetics

Learn more about this group by contacting Dr. Mary Goll (Mary.Goll@uga.edu).

Chromatin is the substrate for virtually all DNA-dependent processes in the nucleus, including transcription, replication, and DNA repair. Faculty in this group seek to understand how epigenetic and chromatin-based mechanisms contribute to genome function in eukaryotes. We are interested in understanding how histones, non-histone DNA binding proteins, and chromatin modifications contribute to fundamental processes within the nucleus.
