Regulation of gene expression during early embryonic development
The regulation of gene expression during the early development of an organism is a governed by a series of regulatory steps which involves an intricate and fine balance of genes being expressed in a spatio-temporal manner. Drosophila and Zebafish have proven to be two of the most studied model systems for understanding early embryonic development in eukaryotes. Both the model systems have their specific advantages that make them suited for study of various developmental mechanisms ranging from the study of specific gene defects by creating transgenics to the visualization of gene localization patterns during various developmental stages.
I have been working toward the understanding of gene expression regulation during early embryoni development by microRNAs. microRNAs have been shown to act as key regulatory molecules that are endogenously present in higher organisms and fine tune gene expression levels post-transcriptionally by binding tot the 3'UTRS of their taget genes.
