NIH research grant awarded to study RNA modifications and structures regulating gene expression during vertebrate development using zebrafish models and multi-omics techniques.
Description
This project aims to discover the regulators mediating gene expression transfer during vertebrate development, focusing on RNA modifications and structures that influence gene regulation. The research uses zebrafish as an in vivo model and multi-omics approaches to map the epitranscriptome and analyze RNA structural dynamics during the maternal-to-zygotic transition.
