Funded Activity Summary

3'UTR switching in eukaryotic cells. The project aims to uncover conserved features fundamental to the mechanism and function of post-transcriptional gene-expression control. RNA systems interface the executive functions of DNA and the worker functions of proteins. mRNA often dictates the level, timing and location of protein synthesis. This project will use RNA-sequencing and bespoke bioinformatics to probe global RNA-dynamics. Mixing yeast-genetics with RNA-technologies, it focuses on 3’ untranslated region (UTR) dynamics in eukaryotic cell biology. This project expects to significantly advance the understanding of eukaryotic gene function and gene regulation, critical in an age of personalised genomic medicine.
