Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Rebecca Yunker's research spans diverse topics, from genomics and chromatin dynamics to the interplay between gut microbiota and host health. Her work incorporates techniques from plant molecular biology, RNA research, and the study of antifungal resistance. Yunker's investigations into genome regulation are exemplified by high-throughput Oligopaint screens to identify druggable targets influencing 3D genome architecture, as well as research into cohesin activity and gene expression. She has also investigated the allelic configurations governing enhancer-promoter communication in embryonic forebrain development. In addition, Yunker's work has explored the critical role of intestinal epithelial cell zinc homeostasis in host-microbiome symbiosis.
