Welcome to the Joyce Lab

The major feature that stands out in the nucleus of all metazoan genomes are the chromosome territories (CTs), which have nonrandom radial positions that are conserved through evolution. We are using our custom Oligopaint FISH probes to identify signatures of chromosome arrangement 

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a developmental disorder characterized by congenital abnormalities, intellectual disability, and multi-system clinical symptoms including congenital heart disease. The disorder typically manifests due to mutations in

Although chromosome interactions are a fundamental aspect of nuclear organization little is known about how they are established, regulated, and inherited across cell divisions. To address this gap, we developed a fully automated FISH-based imaging
