Funded Activity Summary

This project is focused on understanding pathways that regulate RNA metabolism and development. Using the powerful C. elegans model organism (nonpathogenic roundworm) we will undertake experiments to identify pathways that regulate how some mRNAs are stored and later activated during reproduction. The outcomes of these experiments should provide many interesting clues as to how development is regulated by posttranscriptional mechanisms, and have broad relevance to other tissues and organisms.
