The Magnuson Laboratory uses genetically-altered mice, next generation sequencing, and bioinformatics to study the regulation and function of genes that play critical roles in development and cell function. Our studies have led to novel insights into the structure, regulation and/or function of many genes, and especially for Gck, Pck1, PPARγ, Abcc8, Setd5, Rictor, Insm1, Ptf1a, Pdx1, JazF1, Zfp800, Zfp92 and Sox17.
