Cross-Species Epigenetics
This group is completing the collection of transcriptomic and epigenetic data from systems that regenerate (neonatal mouse, zebrafish, chick) and those that do not (mature mouse and human). In addition, they are beginning to perform cross-species comparisons of the behavior of a shared set of hair cell loci across species. Collection of chick data is spearheaded by the Heller lab; the Groves, Segil, and Tao labs are responsible for mouse data; the Piotrowski lab leads work on zebrafish; and the Dabdoub lab will add data from humans. High-quality single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and SHARE-seq data from multiple timepoints and conditions are being generated by all member labs.
