Project description
 

Long non-coding RNAs form a major new gene class, that plays an important role in human health. Still, their function remains largely unknown. This will be investigating through independent approaches in vitro and in vivo, with the expertise available in the foreign host group of Prof. J. lee(Harvard, USA).
