Understanding control of genome folding by cohesin

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.

Understanding the roles of triacylglycerol in modulating mycobacterial growth and biophysical properties

University of Leicester Department of Respiratory Sciences
Mycobacteria contain more lipid than any other bacteria. In addition to a characteristically lipid-rich cell envelope, mycobacteria can accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) as cytoplasmic lipid bodies (LBs). Read more
