Research in the Sullivan Lab is focused on chromosome organization, with a specific
emphasis on the genomics and epigenetics of the chromosomal locus called the centromere.
The centromere is a specialized chromosomal site involved in chromosome architecture
and movement, and when defective, is linked to cancer, birth defects, and infertility.
The lab has described a unique type of chromatin (CEN chromatin) that forms exclusively
at the centromere by replacement of core histone H3 by the centrome
