本研究组围绕RNA结合蛋白和非编码RNA，主要关注RNA-蛋白质复合物在转录和表观遗传层面如何调控基因表达，以及如何在细胞分化、转分化和癌症发生等命运决定过程中发挥作用。主要研究内容包括：

一、非编码RNA的功能机制研究

人类基因组的广泛转录产生了海量的非编码RNA，它们虽然也携带遗传信息，但是往往不具备蛋白质编码潜能，其调控功能主要通过形成复杂的高级结构并与其它RNA分子相互作用而实现。我们重点关注增强子RNA（enhancer RNA, eRNA）、启动子RNA（promoter upstream antisense RNA, uaRNA）和长链非编码RNA（long noncoding RNA），期望通过利用各种RNA功能基因组学手段，系统研究这些非编码RNA的功能机制及其实现的结构基础。

二、RNA结合蛋白的转录调控机制

RNA结合蛋白可在转录和转录后水平调控基因表达。非编码RNA往往需要与RNA结合蛋白形成复合物以调控转录，因此研究RNA与蛋白质的相互作用位点和模式是探索非编码RNA功能机制的关键，也是我们课题组的重点关注方向。

三、RNA互作组学新技术开发

RNA在体内以高级结构形式存在，RNA结构的动态变化对于遗传信息的精确传递至关重要。目前，RNA的原位高级结构和作用靶标研究依然是领域内的瓶颈难题。我们将开发RNA空间互作组学新技术和计算新体系，以解决这些难题。此外，研究RNA结合蛋白的经典CLIP-seq方法需要大量的细胞，无法解决细胞的异质性和个别细胞数目稀缺的问题，因此亟待开发单细胞的功能基因组学研究方法。
