Our ongoing research uses the tools of molecular biology, bioinformatics and evolutionary biology. We culture bacteria, run DNA, RNA and protein gels, align sequences and search for motifs, test DNAs and proteins for interactions, write and run Perl programs, analyze real-time PCR and microarray results, and even tie DNA down with laser tweezers (with some help from our physicist friends).
