Transposons, a selfish friend in mammalian preimplantation development
Lin He is a professor in molecular& cell biology and UC Berkeley with research interests in the functional importance of the non-coding genome. The number of protein-coding genes clearly fails to correlate with the developmental and pathological complexity in mammals. Her research group's overall research interest is to understand the unique biological functions and molecular regulation of various non-coding RNAs and transposable elements in development and disease. Her group aims to understand the distinct biological functions and molecular regulation conferred by miRNAs, long ncRNAs and retrotransposons in development an...
