Introduction
I study 3D chromatin organization and epigenetic mechanisms associated with learning and memory in response to the turnover of molecular targets in the mouse hippocampus. And aims to uncover the regulatory role of novel molecules in the pyramidal neurons involved in learning, particularly in the context of early life stress and its long-lasting effect on gene regulation and social behavior.

In efforts to explain how duplicate gene copies may rise to fixation in a population, previous models of new gene origination have under appreciated the importance of the 3D genome in this process. We show that positional effects on distally duplicated genes, i.e. enhancer capture, is an efficient mechanism for accommodation of new selective condit...
Chromatin states of genes and transposable elements (TEs) dictated by combinations of various histone modifications comprise key information for understanding the mechanisms of genome organization and regulation. However, little is known about the principles of their dynamic changes during development and evolution in a three-dimensional genome con...
