Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human genome project has revealed that the mechanism of gene expression is much more complicated than that we have believed to date. This project focused on the novel RNA-diagnosis system for understanding the detailed mechanism of gene expression where RNAs play crucial roles. As results, we innovated the following systems: (1)Fluorescent-RNA-detection system to detect specific RNA in homogeneous physiological condition. The system was successfully applied to detect unusual splicing products of the muscular dystrophy. (2)Fluorescent-RNA-detection system to detect RNA-protein complexes such as telomerses and RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The system successfully detected telomerase in fixed cells and RISC in living cells. The system can be applied to the development of the novel curing methods of various diseases such as cancers.
