The C&E News article, “Putting DNA in a Bind,” gave an overview of a symposium at the Fall ACS Meeting in Boston on how small molecules interact specifically with DNA and regulate gene expression.
Tom Tullius and His Research Profiled in The Scientist
The work of Professor Tom Tullius and his collaborators, including former student, Dr. Steven Parker, now a scientist at the NIH, has revealed that DNA shape is even more conserved than its sequence, leading to the ground breaking conclusion that the shape of a DNA segment is important for its function. Written by Karen Hopkin, […]

The Ellison award supports a new project in the Tullius lab on genome damage and aging, particularly the […]
TULLIUS Group results published in Science
TULLIUS Group reports in Science that evolutionary selection works on DNA shape Professor Tom Tullius, his graduate student, Steve Parker, and their collaborator at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Elliott Margulies, have developed a new methodfor uncovering functional areas of the human genome by studying DNA’s three-dimensional structure — a topographical approach that extends […]
Professor Tom Tullius receives NIH grant for ENCODE technology to map the surface of DNA
In a second round of funding for technology-related research that will contribute to the international research effort known as ENCODE, the National Human Genome Research Initiative (NHGRI) is supporting a Boston University-based effort to map the topography of the DNA molecule. Prof. Thomas Tullius, chairman of Boston University’s Department of Chemistry, has received a three-year, […]
