Dynamics of chromatin re-organization upon DNA replication stress
Our lab investigates local and spatial re-organization of chromatinized replication forks in response to replication stress. We use a combination of super-resolution imaging, genomics and proteomics based approaches to understand the complex mechanisms of chromatin regulation in maintaining replication fork stability in normal as well as cancer cells.
Techniques
- Single molecule chromatin fibre technology, ChromStretch (developed & patented by the lab)
- Next-generation sequencing technologies: Hi-C and specialized technology, Rep-HiC (developed by the lab)
- DNA combing technology
- Automated quantitative imaging based cell cytometry
- Super-resolution STED microscopy
- Biochem-based tech: ChIP, IP/Co-IP, WB, proteomics
