The long term goal of my research program is to address how different families of RNA transcripts are recognized and correctly processed to mature RNAs with distinct destinations and functions and to understand how the different types of RNA contribute to stem and progenitor cell behavior. The generation of mature RNA in the nucleus is a highly coordinated multistep process that requires distinct complexes for the biogenesis of different RNA families. RNAPII transcripts include at least 4 different types of RNA, each with its own processing requirements. How different families of RNAPII transcripts are recognized and processed to generate mature RNA is not understood. My lab discovered a gene called
