Research Description:

 

Alternative splicing permits a single gene to generate multiple distinct mRNA products, each of which may encode proteins with distinct but related functions. We develop computational and experimental approaches for studying how alternative splicing patterns affect gene function, focusing on environmental stress responses in plants. Complementary to this work, we develop highly-interactive genome display software (Integrated Genome Browser) useful for inspecting splicing patterns and exploring genome-scale data sets.
