Miska Group

Non-coding RNA and epigenetics

We are interested in all aspects of gene regulation by non-coding RNA.

Current research themes include:

miRNA biology and pathology
miRNA mechanism
piRNA biology and the germline
endo-siRNAs in epigenetic inheritance and evironmental conditioning
small RNA evolution
the role of RNAi in host pathogen interaction.

Research project

Antarctic notothenioids fish genomes project

Genome assemblies for 25 species across the Notothenioid radiation.

The notothenioids (suborder: Notothenioidei), are a group of Percomorph fish and one of the best characterized marine adaptive radiations. Notothenioids consist ...
