Reading and rewriting the genome

Three connected lines of work: reading DNA, RNA, and epigenetic information — including screening-based studies of mechanism — building the software that makes those measurements usable, and turning both into therapies.

01

DNA / RNA analysis and epigenetics

We develop methods to analyze the information embedded in DNA and RNA. Our research connects data across genetics and epigenetics — sequences, large mutations, and base modifications — and uses pooled screening to trace how those changes drive cellular and disease mechanisms.

DNA/RNA analysis software

We build software for analyzing DNA and RNA information — tools for newly developed methods, and tools that work around the limits of existing ones. They are designed as web platforms so that anyone can use them without installing anything.

Earlier web toolkits developed by the PI include BE-Designer / BE-Analyzer, PE-Designer / PE-Analyzer, CRISPR-Sub, and the Digenome-seq web tool.

CRISPR & prime editing gene therapy

We develop CRISPR-based gene therapies with a focus on validating their performance and safety. Our targets include genetic disorders and non-genetic disease alike, and the same approaches let us study disease mechanisms directly in human cells.
