There has been a growing wealth of observations probing the properties of high redshift galaxies. These include determination of both the luminosity function and clustering of Lyman break galaxies and Lyman alpha emitters. We discuss a physically motivated semi-analytic model to understand these observations and their implication for the properties of these galaxies. We also highlight the use of well determined high z UV luminosity functions to constrain the neutrino mass.
