Research in our lab focuses broadly on the area of RNA biology. We are taking microarray-based approaches to examine questions both about the mechanism of pre-mRNA splicing, as well as the role of splicing as a control point for regulating gene expression. We are studying aspects of RNA processing both in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
