RNAase-mediated protein footprint sequencing to reveal protein binding sites on transcriptome-wide scale Technology Overview: The Gregory Lab has developed a high-throughput, ribonuclease-mediated protein sequencing approach termed Protein Interaction Profile sequencing (PIP-seq). PIP-seq identifies RNA-protein interaction sites within both unprocessed...

This technology is aimed at improving crop production in the era of global climate change and rising fertilizer costs. Problem: Feeding 7 Billion people is a global concern, and this problem continues to grow year-to-year. A large problem for the agricultural industry is finding a way to grow food on less arable land, while also decreasing expensive...

Genetically engineered plants for increased resistance to nutrient stress Problem: The plant root epidermis absorbs water and nutrients from the environment, using long hair-like projections from root hair cells to increase surface area. Plants regulate the ratio of root hair to nonhair cells based on environmental signals, with plants grown under...
