Abstract:
MicroRNAs and 7SK are small RNA molecules that are important for controlling animal developmental, differentiation, and disease processes. We are investigating how the cellular levels of microRNAs are precisely controlled through regulation of their degradation, and how modification of 7SK snRNA contributes to gene regulation. Our research aims to provide the basis for designing therapeutic molecular tools to control gene expression via small RNAs.

Speaker
Dr Xie Mingyi
Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
University of Florida
From 2005 to 2010, Dr. Xie’s Ph.D. work focused on investigating the structure and function of vertebrate telomerase, under the guidance of Dr. Julian Chen at Arizona State University. In 2010, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Joan Steitz at Yale University to study non-canonical microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis in Herpesviruses and their mammalian hosts. Dr. Xie joined the faculty at the University of Florida in September, 2016.
