The research in my laboratory focuses on the study of genomic imprinting and X inactivation in mice.
Key words: genomic imprinting, X inactivation, DNA methylation, epigenetics, environment.
Description of Research
One aspect of the research in my laboratory focuses on the study of genomic imprinting in mice. While affecting only a subset of genes in mammals, genomic imprinting results in the unequal expression of the maternal and paternal alleles of a gene. As a consequence, the maternal and paternal genomes are functionally non-equivalent and both are required for normal mammalian development. One imprinted gene, H19, is exclusively expressed from the maternally-derived allele in mice and humans. There are a number of important questions concerning the control of imprinting that are being addressed using the mouse H19 gene. These questions include how and when the inactive and active alleles are differentiated, what sequences designate that a gene is to be imprinted, and what factors function to imprint the gene. Moreover, we are also determining how the environment, including procedures used in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and endocrine disruptors, affect imprinting and epigenetic gene regulation.
My laboratory also studies the process of X inactivation in mice. X inactivation is the dosage compensation mechanism that female mammals use to silence one X chromosome and to achieve equivalent X-linked expression to males. Certain aspects of this complex multi-step process have been well established, but the molecular and genetic mechanisms controlling this process remain poorly characterized. To isolate factors involved in X inactivation we have employed the following strategies: we have collaborated with Huntington Willard (Duke University) in conducting ENU mutagenesis in the mouse to select for mutations that affect X inactivation; we have participated in studies that assay reactivation of X-linked genes; and we have examined the effects of various mutations and environmental perturbations on X inactivation.
