The role of LINE encoded natural antisense transcripts in immune regulation [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Genetic information underpins all life on earth and is processed to make proteins, which determine the characteristics of an organism. However, only about 2% of our whole genome is made up of genes that encode proteins; the other 98% is non-coding and its function remains poorly understood. This proposal aims to utilize cutting edge genomic technologies to generate new knowledge about how the non-coding genome regulates the expression of protein coding genes in human autoimmune disease.
