Excellence in Research (Category: Associate Professor)
Grace Xiao, Associate Professor, Integrative Biology and Physiology

Professor Grace Xiao’s publication ‘Genome Sequence-Independent Identification of RNA Editing Sites’ presents a new bioinformatic method called GIREMI that very accurately identifies genome-wide RNA editing sites from RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data alone– an exciting breakthrough in how gene expression can be diversified beyond the DNA genomic blueprint.
