The RNA-based Lifeforms Laboratory

Our passion is in the study of the interface between RNA and Genetics. Life's most fundamental gene, ribosomal RNA, is the catalyst for protein synthesis. We am defining the functional genetic (and epigenetic) sequence variation in human ribosomal RNA, and it's impact in human disease. We doing some virus-hunting projects on the side too.

ribobook's Issues

Initial annotations

Artem

• Create a 'generic' template page for RPS/RPL genes
• Population generic templates page with links to external databases
• Create a 'useful links' page with ribosome/RNA modification pages
• Create page of RNA modifications in rRNA
• Literature review rRNA modifications in cancer

German

• Create a 'generic' template page for each RP/RNA onco-clusters
• Begin literature review/referencing annotation of known RP clusters
