Small RNA mediated regulation of gene expression

The research in my team focuses for the major part on how gene expression can be regulated by small RNA molecules that act in RNA interference-related pathways. This extends from studying their effects on development to how they control genome stability by controlling transposable elements. A theme that currently receives extra attention is the epigenetic control of gene expression across generations.
