Chromatin proteins package our genomic DNA. Essential, highly conserved
cellular processes rely on this genome compartmentalization, yet many
chromatin proteins are wildly unconserved over evolutionary time. The lab of Mia Levine
studies the biological forces that drive chromatin protein evolution and
the functional consequences for chromosome segregation, telomere
integrity, and genome defense.
