-
Genetic basis of cancer
– role of retrotransposons in epigenetic changes associated
with ovarian cancer development, new diagnostics and therapeutics
for ovarian cancer
-
Role of retroviral-like
transposable elements as a source of mutational change and
their relevance to the genome structure and function
-
Mechanisms by which
retrotransposons evolve new cis-regulatory sequences, the
significance these changes may have for the maintenance and
spread of retroviral elements in natural populations, and
the impact these and other retrotransposon sequences have
on gene and genome evolution
