Research areas and interests
The Dai lab uses budding yeast as model organism to study the function of chromatin with emphasis on histone modifications. In addition, his lab is synthesizing the yeast chromosome XII as a part of the international collaborative project (the Sc2.0 project) and developing technologies for synthetic biology. He has published over 20 papers in major scientific journals and awarded several patents.
