Abstract:

The genome is transcribed into RNA. Some RNA encodes protein. More RNA acts directly in the control of gene expression. My group is studying such RNA control mechanisms. To do this we are using a variety of tools from chemical biology to cell biology and from computation to animal genetics. Recent work has focussed on (i) in vivo RNA structure determination, (ii) RNA modification of tRNA and mRNA as a new layer of control, (iii) RNA and transposon control and (iv) RNA-mediated inheritance. While our work is of a fundamental nature it impinges on human disease such as viral infection, metabolic disease and cancer. I will present unpublished work from the group.
