Our center brings together top researchers from the Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Marquette University in a multi-disciplinary approach to focus on identifying regulatory mechanisms that turn our genes on and off and determine how they may be altered by critical biological processes, diseases or environmental factors.
We will be developing novel technologies to identify the proteins that bind to particular DNA regions. Our ultimate goal is to develop a toolbox that can be used to better understand the relationships between changes in protein-DNA interactions and the underlying complex machinery controlling genes. This site describes the investigators involved in the Center, the work and it’s results as they become available, and the activities and opportunities available to others through this new Center.
The Wisconsin CEGS is an extramural research program funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health.
