Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Heather L McCullough"
- Heather L McCullough's research primarily focuses on the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, particularly how microRNAs influence translational control and mRNA stability, as well as the evolutionary implications of gene expression variability in natural populations.
- In her 2009 study, she explored the direct targets of microRNA miR-124, finding that translational inhibition and mRNA decay contribute to the regulatory effects of miRNAs in human cells.
- McCullough's earlier work utilized Caenorhabditis elegans to analyze nucleosome positioning within the chromatin landscape and investigated genetic variation in gene expression among Saccharomyces cerevisiae, linking such variations to observable phenotypic traits.
