Professors from Physics and Chemistry receive an NIH grant to study genetic transcription regulation

Using single molecule and ensemble level methods, the Balci and Basu Labs will perform in vitro and in cellulo experiments to establish the capabilities and limitations of nuclease-dead mutant of Cas9 (dCas9) to target G-quadruplex forming sequences in the promoter regions and regulate transcription.
