Post-transcriptional gene regulation in RNA-granules

这个项目的重点是了解调控RNA代谢和发育的途径。使用强大的秀丽隐杆线虫模型生物（非致病性蛔虫），我们将进行实验，以确定调节一些mrna在繁殖过程中如何储存和随后激活的途径。这些实验的结果应该为研究发育如何受转录后机制调控提供了许多有趣的线索，并且与其他组织和生物体具有广泛的相关性。

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.
