Chromosome Biology

All aspects of life depend on the correct expression, replication and segregation of a cell's genome. Our research groups use a  variety of approaches that range from single-molecule in vitro reconstitution systems to the generation of complex animal models to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie chromosome function.
