Project description

The regulation of gene expression in an organism is an important component in the translation of genotype to the final phenotype. Gene expression is regulated at multiple levels nad transcription factors play a determining role. The main goal of this project is the study of the conservation of transcriptional regulation in plants based on experimental high-throughput data (i.c. ChIP-Seq).
