Project description:hnRNP M and Rbfox proteins are subunits of the Large Assembly of Splicing Regulators (LASR). The purpose of this study is to investigate how these two splicing factors affect each others' role in regulating splice site choices in pre-mRNA. hnRNP M is knocked down by RNAi in Flp-In T-REx 293 cells (Invitrogen), whereas Rbfox1 is expressed inducibly under tetracycline control from construct integrated into the genome at the FRT site. Using this system, splicing and expression profiles of cells expressing and/or lacking these proteins are compared on a whole genome level by RNA-seq technology.
