- Abstract
With the resulting data, Blake and Pam copublished a seminal 2005 I Science i manuscript, "Elucidation of the Small RNA Component of the Transcriptome", which was the first "next-gen" sequencing-based analysis of small RNAs, in this case focused on Arabidopsis ([2]). As more genome sequences were released, the Meyers lab began expanding its analysis of small RNAs to rice, maize, and other species, even (with UD colleagues) including chicken viruses, analyzing diverse tissues and developmental stages. The "tiny RNAs" that Carrington was studying are what we know today as small RNAs, typically 21- to 24-nucleotide RNAs that include microRNAs that silence mRNAs as well as short interfering RNAs that guide DNA methylation and heterochromatin formation. While working on very small RNA molecules, Blake Meyers tackles some of the biggest problems in plant biology.
