Cell size modulates SBF and Whi5 chromatin association to regulate the Start of the budding yeast cell cycle. PNAS 123(40):e2607883123. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2607883123 .
The goal of the Reyes lab is to understand DNA replication and its relation to genome integrity. We explore the diversity of mechanisms developed by life using as model systems the bacterium Escherichia coli, budding yeast and human cells. Our group also uses live cell single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to understand protein function.
Preserving the genome is a fundamental task in life. Through our work, we aim to contribute in the search of new antibiotic targets, the understanding and treatment of cancer and other genetic diseases, the development of biotechnological applications, and the search of life in the universe.
