Our group is focused on understanding the molecular basis of specific eukaryotic transcription factors function and evolution. Transcription factors are the elements of signalling pathways that directly affect and regulate gene expression. Transcription factors recognize specific DNA sequences, and exert an effect on transcription in many different ways (usually binarily categorized as positive or negative).
