  • Research:
    RNA processing in E. coli

    RNase E and RNase III both have major roles in RNA metabolism and processing , but our understanding of the big picture in regulation pathways is lacking. I have been working on a transcriptome-wide analysis of the in vivo actvity of RNase E and RNase III in Escherichia coli to help clear up some of the lingering questions in the field. Recently I have also begun to take a look at rRNA processing in E. coli, as some recent results in our lab suggest that our current understanding is incredibly simplistic, at best.
