Research project funded by NIH to study regulation and impact of transposable elements on vertebrate health and disease, focusing on sex differences and using animal models.
Description
The project aims to understand the regulation of mobile genetic elements, such as transposons, in healthy somatic cells across different biological sexes and their influence on vertebrate health and disease. Using models including mice and African turquoise killifish, the research will explore sex-dimorphic regulation, identify new regulators, and evaluate impacts on health.
