Researchers: A/Pr Timothy Mercer (Principal investigator)

Brief description Dr. Mercer will develop a new technology, CaptureSeq that is able to focus RNA sequencing on targeted regions of interest. This focus gives CaptureSeq an unprecedented sensitivity to discover new genes and regulatory elements in regions of the genome that have been associated with disease but are otherwise barren and empty. This project will thereby uncover both new genes candidates for further disease research and develop a technology with unique and widespread research and clinical potential.
