| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to control alternative splicing and gene expression as our own purpose. By using nematode C.elegans as model organism, reporter mini-gene with GFP/RFP is constructed. This mini-gene is designed to express GFP/RFP only when alternative splicing is completed as desired. An RNA binding protein which plays an important role to alternative splicing is also investigated.
