Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Cedric Belair"
- Cedric Belair's research focuses on RNA dynamics and regulation, including the roles of RNA isoforms, DNA modifications, and non-coding RNAs in cellular processes and aging.
- Recent findings reveal that gene body DNA hydroxymethylation (5hmC) restricts transcriptional changes during aging and that mis-spliced transcripts in neurodegenerative diseases generate de novo proteins, highlighting potential mechanisms of gene regulation and dysfunction.
- Belair's work also employs innovative technologies like deep learning and nanopore sequencing to enhance understanding of RNA metabolism in health and disease, revealing insights into stress responses, transcriptome dynamics, and gene expression regulation.
