  • Understanding RNA localization mechanisms is key to developmental biology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the process of RNA localization during development.
  • To investigate the role of transcribed RNA in developmental determinant sorting.
  • To leverage new visualization techniques for studying endogenous RNA.

Main Methods:

  • Direct visualization of endogenous transcribed RNA.
  • Advanced microscopy techniques.
  • Analysis of RNA localization patterns in developing systems.
