...viour of cancer cells. These are RNA molecules that are transcribed, but never translated into protein sequences. Advances in sequencing technology have revealed large numbers of novel ncRNA loci in the genome, to the point where they are now known to outnumber protein-coding genes. Whilst most are uncharacterised, recent work has shown an increasing number to be functional ? and to act in a variety of regulatory roles within the cell. The successful applicant will join a highly interdisciplinary team comprising numerical- and biological-scientists who together exploit the power of new technologies such as s...
