Using cutting-edge technologies like CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) and AI-driven algorithms, we aim to develop tools to explore promoter architecture & identify novel antitumor targets.
🚀 Introducing CroAGE – a #NextGenerationEU project advancing regulatory & comparative genomics in 🇭🇷 Croatia! We study gene promoters to understand how they control development & how tumours disrupt transcription.
