Drs. Thoru Pederson (BMP) and Paul Kaufman (MCCB) have a research collaboration to continue a line of investigation on microRNAs that had begun in the Pederson laboratory.  Via deep sequencing of small RNAs found in purified nucleoli, the PIs discovered multiple cell-type specific patterns of miRNA accumulation and processing. The challenge now will be validation of these biochemical enrichments via in situ hybridization of nucleic acid probes on fixed cells, as well as the development of functional assays for these species. Therefore, experience with cytology and/or genomic techniques will be highly valuable for these studies.
