Abigail Yu

Genetics Graduate Student

Biography

After completing my BS in Genetics at UC Davis, I realized that I loved Davis so much that I decided to continue my graduate education at the same university! My research aims to take full advantage of this new age of high-throughput sequencing technologies and focuses on integrating bioinformatics with basic science to discover and develop gene therapies

To date, I am a shared student between Ian Korf and David Segal, where I work on creating and evaluating artificial transcription factors for treatment of malaria and elucidating the intricacies of off-target interactions for DNA-binding domains

Research interests

  • TAL-effector domain binding
  • Zinc finger arrays
  • Malaria and Plasmodium genomics
