Research in the Mullen Davis lab focus on how organisms respond to changing environmental conditions.  Prokaryotes and eukaryotes have developed mechanisms to survive stress, including altering gene expression and physiology to counteract changing temperature, nutrient availability, and other abiotic conditions.  Our lab uses model systems to study gene expression by transcription factors in prokaryotes (Escherichia coli) and by long non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes (Arabiodpsis thaliana).
