- 📍 Venue: Max Perutz Lecture Theatre, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Abstract
The discovery that small RNAs commonly regulate the expression of many genes is one of the most startling recent advances in biological sciences. MicroRNAs are now thought to influence the expression of about half of all mammalian genes. Changes in the activities of microRNAs correlate with diseases such as cancer. Understanding the specific functions of small RNAs requires defining the transcriptome of the cell in both normal and disease states.
