“I picked R-loops because they’re the plot twists of plant genetics – just when you think you’ve figured out a plant’s story, they change the ending!”
the way R-loop formation regulates alternative splicing in plants, specifically examining its effects on gene expression in A. thaliana. The research includes studying how light influences R-loop formation and subsequent changes in splicing patterns. A key part of the project is altering the expression of the RNH1A gene to manipulate R-loop formation. This work aims to reveal clearer insights into the connections between R-loop formation and splicing outcomes.
I like climbing and swimming.
