Systematic discovery of protein functions in human cells to understand gene regulation and enable genetic medicine

Gene and chromatin regulation


We developed HT-recruit to systematically discover and characterize transcriptional effector domains in human cells. We discovered transcriptional effector domains in 600 human proteins and shed new light on the evolution of major transcription factor families, like KRAB and Hox, while also engineering improved activator and repressor domains for synthetic biology.
