Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer and other developmental disorders. However, a complete understanding of how cells regulate and maintain genome stability is still not well understood. My current project investigates how a highly conserved chromatin regulator, namely Spt6, affects genome stability in the model organism yeast. This work will elucidate mechanisms employed by the cell to protect its genome.
