Small RNAs do not encode proteins themselves, but they are key to important biological phenomena such as development and differentiation in plants and animals by regulating the expression of other genes. We are working to understand the mechanisms of small RNA-mediated gene expression regulation in plants and to develop foundational technologies for controlling plant functions.
