Research Description

We are interested in the genomics of bacteria. Having sequenced E. coli K-12 we have now turned to large scale functional genomics of E. coli through DNA chip analysis of global gene expression and by phenotypic analysis of conditional knock-out mutations.

We are also interested in hypothesis driven comparative and evolutionary genomics by sequencing related strains. The first strain sequenced for comparison was E. coli O157:H7, the “hamburger strain.” Subsequent studies included other pathogenic strains of E. coli, as well as Yersinia pestis (plague), Shigella flexneri (dysentary), and Salmonella Typhi (typhoid fever). It turns out that many virulence determinants of the different pathogens are similar, so this approach will allow identification of a “pathosphere” of the virulence genes that make up the pathogenic potential of these bacteria. Other lab interests include bioinformatics, technology development, and genetic engineering/re-engineering of bacterial genomes.
