Orchestrating the Transcriptome and Proteome in Time and Space: Quantitative Modeling of Protein Production, Degradation and Localization in Mammalian Systems (EXPRESSION DYNAMICS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Mar 1, 2017,

Gene expression in mammalian cells is tightly controlled and depends on the interplay between the production, degradation and localization of RNA and proteins. Each of these processes is highly regulated, but it remains largely unclear which of these is the dominant process determining the final concentration of each protein in each cell state or time point on a genomic scale.In my outgoing phase, ...
