We are using the model system Drosophila to study 1) how genomic DNA incorporated into transposon vectors influences the insertion site specificity and 2) how regulatory DNA present within the transposon behaves at different chromosomal insertion sites 3) whether enhancer-trapping can be used to express a functional gene and rescue a mutant phenotype.
Position available for technician for 1 year. Looking for a recent graduate.
