| Research/Activities |
- My laboratory introduced hydroxyl radical footprinting, now a widely used method for the structural study of DNA, DNA-protein complexes, and RNA. We are currently investigating the connection between structural properties of DNA and genomics, including evolutionary selection for DNA structure in the human genome. Our work on the human genome was initiated with funding from the ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) Pilot Project, which was organized by the National Human Genome Research Institute of the NIH to discover functional elements in the human genome. New areas of interest include research on the chemical mechanisms of aging associated with oxidative damage to the genome.
