Small RNA, The Dark Matter of Genetics - by Professor Sir David Baulcombe
Professor Sir David Baulcombe is Regius Professor of Botany in Plant Sciences at the University of Cambridge. The genome encodes for hundreds of non-coding small RNAs, and most remain functionally uncharacterised. These small RNAs participate with other non-coding RNAs to form the biological #39;dark matter #39;. Sir David Baulcombe #39;s investigation into this area led him to discover components that are common to both animals and plants and its significance beyond disease. In his current research, he continues to investigate the mechanisms and biological role of RNA silencing, and the potential of RNA to initiate trans-generational changes.
