Mukulika Ray Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mukulika Ray's research investigates the intricate relationship between RNA processing, genomics, and developmental biology. Her work at John Brown University explores RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms, with a particular focus on RNA modifications and their implications in cancer. Ray employs Drosophila as a model system to dissect the regulatory networks governing gene expression. Recent work has illuminated sex-specific splicing events during early embryogenesis and the role of maternal transcription factors in establishing transcript diversity. Additionally, Ray's group has identified a dual DNA/RNA-binding factor that regulates co-transcriptional splicing, influencing splicing factor dynamics. She also contributed to the development of BindCompare, a computational platform for analyzing protein–nucleic acid interactions. Ray's work is primarily focused on RNA research and splicing, neurobiology and insect physiology, genomics, and chromatin dynamics.
