PBS Program Name:
ARC 19/20 Discovery
Grant Program:
Discovery Projects
Grant Activity:
Role of R-loops and double R-loops in genome organisation and transcription
Purpose:
The majority of our genome is converted to an extensive network of non-protein-coding RNA molecules (ncRNAs), but the function of these ncRNAs is unknown. This project aims to identify and determine the mechanism of action of nuclear ncRNA networks with a particular focus on nuclear ncRNAs that form RNA-DNA hybrids with the genomic DNA. These studies have the potential to lead to ground-breaking discoveries in our understanding of genome organisation and the mechanism of transcription control, and might provide an entirely new tool-box to manipulate genome function. This should provide significant benefits to efforts to develop innovative biotechnology and genome editing technologies in plants and animals.
