1. Regulation of RNA Editing : The impact of inosine on the neuronal transcriptome
Abstract : The transcriptome of the mammalian brain is extensively modified by adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) nucleotide conversion by two adenosine deaminases (ADAR1 and ADAR2). As adenosine and inosine have different base pairing properties, A-to-I RNA editing shapes the functional output of both coding and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the brain. READ MORE

2. 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

3. A-to-I RNA editing : Function and consequences during brain development
Abstract : The aim of my thesis has been to study how A-to-I RNA editing of miRNAs is regulated during brain development and the biological function of these editing events.Using high throughput RNA sequencing, we performed an unbiased search for edited, mature miRNAs in total mouse brain tissue from three developmental stages.

4. Understanding Cancer Mutations by Genome Editing
Abstract : Mutational analyses of cancer genomes have identified novel candidate cancer genes with hitherto unknown function in cancer. To enable phenotyping of mutations in such genes, we have developed a scalable technology for gene knock-in and knock-out in human somatic cells based on recombination-mediated construct generation and a computational tool to design gene targeting constructs.

5. Deregulation and editing of microRNAs in metastatic prostate cancer
Abstract : Prostate cancer bone metastasis is still not fully understood, and increased knowledge could aid in the development of better treatment options for patients in the future. This thesis focuses on microRNAs (miRNAs), which modulate gene expression in healthy and tumour cells. READ MORE
