RNA STRUCTURE

Interested in a RNA Biology? Want to get a graduate degree? Apply to the Clemson University Department of Genetics and Biochemistry graduate program. RNA Biology is an exciting field with many unanswered questions relevant to human disease. The RNA Structure and Regulation Group is located at the Center for Human Genetics, a new, research focused facility located in Greenwood, SC on the Greenwood Genetics Center campus... Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) pass along information that can be decoded to produce protein. Importantly, these same mRNAs also contain information determining when, where and how much protein to make. This regulatory information is part of the RNA and can have a huge impact on the final protein output. The RNA Structure and Regulation group looks for ways to identify regulatory elements within mRNA and understand how regulatory elements function. Some examples of common regulatory elements are upstream open reading frames within the 5' Untranslated Region (UTR) of a mRNA,..
