16. Understanding the Noise : Spliceosomal snRNA Profiling
Abstract : The concept of the gene has been constantly challenged by new discoveries in the life sciences. Recent challenging observations include the high frequency of alternative splicing events and the common transcription of non-protein-coding-RNAs (ncRNAs) from the genome. The latter has long been considered noise in biological systems. READ MORE

17. Functional Characterization of the Evolutionarily Conserved Adenoviral Proteins L4-22K and L4-33K
Abstract : Regulation of adenoviral gene expression is a complex process directed by viral proteins controlling a multitude of different activities at distinct phases of the virus life cycle. This thesis discusses adenoviral regulation of transcription and splicing by two proteins expressed at the late phase: L4-22K and L4-33K. READ MORE

18. Gene regulation by chromatin remodelling complexes : SWI/SNF complex in mRNA processing and B-WICH complex in ribosomal gene expression
Abstract : The aim of this project is to investigate the roles of chromatin remodelling complexes in gene regulation. It is focused on two groups of chromatin complexes: the mammalian BRG1 and BRM SWI/SNF complexes and the ISWI-containing B-WICH complex.Study 1 investigates the role of SWI/SNF complexes in alternative splicing.

19. The diverse functions of the ADAR enzymes : Editing and editing-independent effects on gene expression
Abstract : The adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) family of enzymes consists of three members (ADAR1-3). These enzymes are responsible for the deamination of adenosine into inosine in double-stranded RNA, one of the most common RNA modifications in mammals. READ MORE

20. RNA modifications and post-transcriptional control in cancer and stem cells
Abstract : Splicing and translation are two of the key steps of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Their tight regulation is essential for development, whereas their deregulation is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Nevertheless, many of the molecular mechanisms controlling these processes are still unknown. READ MORE
