Potential Rotation Projects

A variety of rotation projects are available to study RNP assembly and post-transcriptional regulation during development using quantitative biochemical and modern molecular methods.

Project 1:    Characterization of the RNA-protein complexes that guide C. elegans early development.  Several projects ranging in scope from biochemical characterization of RNA-binding protein complexes to genetic dissection of RNA binding protein function in development are currently available.  Contact Sean for more details.

Project 2:   Post-transcriptional regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation.  Projects are available to monitor changes in gene expression as a function of differentiation with a focus on changes in alternative splicing and mRNA stability.  Contact Sean for more details.
