PhD Project in RNA (Epi)Genetics: Embark on a cutting-edge research journey in RNA (epi)genetics, investigating how RNA modifications impact gene expression in germ cells. This prestigious scholarship offers a unique opportunity to delve into the intricate world of RNA biology using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism.
Job Description:
Join our RNA (epi)genetics laboratory led by Dr. Alper Akay to explore how snRNA modifications regulate isoform-specific gene expression, with a focus on splice site choice during pre-mRNA splicing. Employing molecular biology, genetics, and RNA sequencing technologies, you will unravel the mechanisms underlying gene-specific splice site selection and transcript isoform expression during C. elegans development.
