We are interested in the role of chromatin and non-coding RNAs in the regulation of splicing, and the relevance of these mechanisms in cancer. We are also studying the effect of enhancers on splicing and alternative transcription initiation. Using epigenetic data, we have built a predictive model of active enhancers. We are now exploring the effect that intragenic enhancers may have on the co-transcriptional regulation of RNA. |
Residing in the physical heart of the cell, the nucleus has now fully shed its once one-dimensional reputation as the repository for genetic information and steady supplier of messages to the cytoplasm. This sea change…
