We are interested in the fundamental mechanisms of gene expression. Our specific
focus is on the biogenesis, transport, utilization and turnover of the diverse species of
RNA. Our two most used models are bakers yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a
higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Both of these model systems are associated with
powerful genomic resources and allow rapid progress. Our research in yeast is
supported by NIH, while our plant RNA studies are supported by NSF, USDA and
BARD.
