The 3’ UTR codes that control mRNA translation in development [ 2013 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Traude Beilharz (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Peter Boag

Brief description We are the product of an exquisite programme that controls when and where genes are turned on and off, over time, from a single cell to adulthood. This project concerns codes that regulate this programme with a focus on early development, the germline and neuronal cells. Using the same technology that now allows individuals to sequence their own genome, we will study an aspect of this timing in model organisms having genetic lesions in specific pathways that relate also to human health and disease.
