Description

Defining and harnessing the code of messenger RNA modifications. This project aims to define and harness a hidden layer of genetic control that guides protein production. Using interdisciplinary approaches combining cell biology, synthetic biology and artificial intelligence, the project expects to generate new knowledge and tools that will enhance our understanding of how biological systems enact their genetic program through messenger RNA to produce the proteins that sustain life. Anticipated outcomes include an improved ability to elucidate key cellular mechanisms and new molecular tools with broad applications in biotechnology. This should realise global benefits across industry and agriculture, fostering economic growth and advancing interdisciplinary training and research in Australia. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3102 - Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Lead: Prof Eduardo Eyras
