The National Human Genome Research Institute has awarded genomics expert Brent Graveley and his team $5.6-million to continue to work on an enormous encyclopedia of human RNA molecules and the proteins that bind to them.
The Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences Chair and UConn School of Medicine Professor Brent Graveley and his lab have worked steadily over the past 10 years, classifying 563 of the proteins that bind to RNA as part of an Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project.
