Undergraduate research in the Anders Hansen Lab
Project title: Characterization of Bidirectional Promoters as a Novel Tool for Gene Coregulation
What’s Up?
Science: Jan 2024-Present
From this project, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of gene regulation and co-expression of bidirectional promoters. This project has important applications into future long-term projects such as measuring BDPs expression dynamics overtime and applying BDPs in existing co-expression applications.
