Eastbio: Mechanism and consequences of lethal zygosis in bacteria restricting AMR plasmids.

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health crisis, largely due to the carriage of AMR genes on conjugative plasmids, mobile genetic elements that spread by conjugation between bacteria. Read more

EASTBIO Unravelling the Regulation of Small RNAs in the Prostate

University of St Andrews
School of Mathematics and Statistics
  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
Aside from messenger RNA (mRNA), a whole raft of small non-coding RNAs are at work in the cell, but these have been relatively neglected in studies of genetic and epigenetic regulation. Read more

Deep learning of nascent transcription dynamics to predict mature mRNA production

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
The production of mature messenger RNA (mRNA) from a human protein-coding gene is a highly regulated process involving transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and co-transcriptional RNA processing, including splicing and cleavage/polyadenylation. Read more
