Welcome to Alexandrov lab
Identification of Disease-Associated Human RNA Pathways
|
We are state of the art-equipped lab in the Clemson Center for Human Genetics. We use forward genetics to identify and study disease-associated human pathways of RNA biogenesis, regulation, and surveillance.
To conduct forward genetic interrogation of RNA pathways, we use ultra high-throughput methods that employ CRISPR-based mutagenesis of the human genome and FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting). The RNA pathways we are focusing on play critical roles in (a) cancer and (b) genetic diseases that arise from mutations resulting in a premature termination codon. Among cancer-associated human RNA pathways, we are currently focusing on those regulating levels of the human nuclear long non-coding RNA MALAT1. |
