Interdisciplinary RNA research
RNA is known to be a molecule that intricately and precisely regulates higher-order biological phenomena. The purpose of the 2022 Summer Research Program is to further our understanding of life phenomena by investigating how RNA and related biomolecules are related to our own research topics through both biological and computational experiments. Specifically, they will create hydrogels using RNA, investigate the function of gene clusters in Halomonas sp. and analyze genes related to telomere, the terminal sequence of shark chromosomes. Some of the participants are unable to come to the Center due to the spread of the new coronavirus during the summer program period, so they will be able to participate remotely.
