BBA - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms MicroRNA
Edited by G. Tang
Volume 1779, Issue 11, Pages 653-788 (November 2008)
In this special issue on miRNAs, 17 corresponding authors, both established and initial investigators, contributed 19 reviews, minireviews, and original research papers on plant and animal miRNAs or their related technologies. These papers were selected after a strict peer-review process. Each was chosen because it provides a quality introductory or in-depth reading matter for readers who are working on, plan to work on, or have an interest in miRNAs. view the Special Issue on MicroRNA
Guiliang Tang, Ph.D., Principal Investigator of Gene Suppression Laboratory, Department of Plant and Soil Sciences & KTRDC, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.
Dr. Tang received his Ph.D. in 2001 at the Weizmann Institute of Sciences in Israel. He was a post-doctoral Fellow of the Charles A. King Trust Research Fellowship with the Medical Foundation at Boston. There, he worked on RNA Interference (RNAi) and microRNA (miRNA) with Dr. Phil Zamore of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. In July 2005, Dr. Tang started his Gene Suppression Laboratory as a faculty member and a Principal Investigator at the University of Kentucky. His research focuses on dissecting the mechanism of RNAi and miRNA, as well as developing tools of gene suppression for gene function and functional genomics. Dr. Tang also teaches a laboratory course on RNAi and miRNA for undergraduate and graduate students.
