Tens of thousands of genes must be regulated in a typical higher eukaryote, and over a thousand protein and RNA factors enable regulation. Emerging technologies are transforming our understanding of gene regulation, and the challenge now is to integrate mechanistic descriptions across the genome. GGD students in this area focus on multiple aspects of gene regulation that involve a collaborative and interdisciplinary culture, especially in the areas of molecular and computational biology.
