Gene therapy is a rapidly growing field of medicine in which genes are introduced into the body to treat diseases.
Gene therapy seeks to provide genes that correct or supplant the disease-controlling functions of cells that are not, in essence, doing their job.
Gene therapy is also being considered as an approach to solving a problem associated with a surgical procedure known as balloon angioplasty.

The problem of RNA splicing specificity is to describe the set of `rules' which govern choice of intron and splice site locations in primary transcripts by the nuclear splicing machinery and to understand the molecular basis for these rules.
Splicing of short introns is generally thought to proceed by an "intron definition" mechanism.
To study the process of alternative splicing, we are constructing databases of alternatively spliced genes and identifying genes which exhibit conserved patterns of alternative splicing between human and mouse and conserved regions in introns flanking the alternatively spliced exons, suggesting the presence of regulation.
