NIH grant awarded to Northwestern University for research on non-coding RNAs and their role in gene regulation and developmental biology using Drosophila as a model organism.
Description
Research focusing on gene regulation in developmental biology using Drosophila as a model organism, investigating molecular mechanisms and functions of non-coding RNAs, especially long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and the role of adenosine methylation in mRNAs, as well as exploring interaction between intracellular regulatory programs and extrinsic signals such as tissue signaling and morphogen gradients to understand tissue-scale morphogen gradients instructing cell polarization and development.
