Yang's research interests include: 1) Synthetic Epigenetics: De novo construction of epigenetic regulatory modification systems using forward-engineering approaches. 2) Epigenetic inheritance: How is parental epigenetic information transmitted to the daughter cells? How distinct chromatin states are inherited following DNA replication? 3) RNA modifications: Is there any transmission of RNA sequences and RNA modifications during DNA replication?
