Professor Tom Tullius Awarded 3.5 Year NSF Grant
Professor Tom Tullius was recently awarded an NSF Division o Molecular and Cellular Biosciences Investigator-initiated research projects award to develop a new experimental method that can provide detailed information on the three-dimensional folding of all the RNA molecules in a cell, in one experiment. The new method combines chemical probing of RNA structure by the hydroxyl radical, the quintessential Reactive Oxygen Species, with analysis by high-throughput sequencing, so that the structures of all RNA molecules in a cell can be monitored simultaneously.
