The New Biology of RNA
Professor Chris Burge
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: none
This series will highlight recent developments in fields of biology relating to RNA. The recent discoveries of RNA interference and microRNAs have identified unexpected new roles for RNA in biological systems. Meanwhile studies of regulatory mechanisms involving RNA, from RNA editing to alternative splicing, are being transformed by new experimental and computational approaches. Find out what the excitement is about and hear from some of the labs that are at the forefront of RNA research.
