Overview
The purpose of our laboratory in the study of RNA-guided gene regulation focused on the function of small and long non-coding RNAs guiding novel nuclear events. We are performing a detailed analysis of nuclear RNA processes by studying the identity, localization, and functions of specific nuclear RNA molecules, nuclear RNA/proteins complexes and nuclear shuttling processes in Arabidopsis thaliana and Caenorhabditis elegans. Through these analyses, we expect to characterize novel nuclear RNA pathways and to uncover their biological relevance.
