摘要：My lab at Cornell develops innovative single molecule techniques to stretch, unzip, and twist single DNA molecules, to track motions of proteins that translocate along and rotate around DNA, and to measure forces and torques generated by these motors. We apply these approaches to study the mechanisms of DNA packaging, transcription, and replication. In this lecture, I will focus on our studies of chromatin dynamics and how our initial efforts to map out the chromatin landscape have led us to insights into epigenetic inheritance. In addition, I will also discuss our ongoing efforts to make these precision mechanical measurements high throughput on a nanophotonic platform.
