The Lee lab is part of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine. We study the molecular and cellular mechanisms shaping genome variation, which is the ultimate determinant of the myriad diversity of life and our health. Our current work focuses on a substantial component of most eukaryotic genomes, "transposable elements" (TEs), which copy themselves and move to new genomic locations. We aim to understand how these widespread and variable "genomic parasites" shape the evolution of genomes through altering chromatin landscapes. To achieve this, we use Drosophila (fruit flies hovering over fruits!!) as a model system, and integrate population genomics, epigenomics, computational biology, and cell biology.
In addition to TEs, we investigate the variation of chromatin landscapes within and between species and identify the functional causes and evolutionary consequences of such variation.
Under direction of the PI, the incumbent will assist with experimental planning, data collection, and data summary of various projects in the lab. This includes, but not limited to, maintaining and expanding Drosophila culture, performing Drosophila crosses, assaying Drosophila phenotypes, performing standard molecular experiments for genomics applications, organizing and analyzing dataset, and assisting with laboratory management.
