RNA Bioinformatics

Brenton Graveley and Ben Blencowe edited a book on alternative splicing - "Alternative splicing in the postgenomic era". Click this link for a list of chapters. Chris and I contributed a chapter "Relating Alternative Splicing to Proteome Complexity and Genome Evolution". This book is scheduled to come out in November.

I am setting up my lab in University of Iowa. I am looking for postdocs to work on RNA splicing and microRNA related projects. The successful candidates should have a proven record in genome sequence analysis or microarray analysis. Send me an email for details if you are interested.

Gelfand and colleagues wrote a comprehensive review concerning the evolution of alternative splicing. They covered lots of materials, explained some important subtleties in the published work, and presented different opinions in a balanced way. A pleasure to read.
