Project

Genetic and functional analysis of human brain expressed microRNA genes.

MiRNAs have been implicated in a wide variety of basic cellular functions. In the brain miRNAs regulate differentiation, maturation and synaptic plasticity. This project aims to gain more insight in the involvement of miRNA genes in relation to brain functioning, by combining molecular genetics and analysis of structure and function of relevant variant miRNAs."
