Speaker Bio: Alex Flynt is an Associate Professor of Cellular and Molecular Biology with research interests in the biology of small non-coding RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNA), small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs). A major goal is to identify unique aspects of their biogenesis and roles in development and genome evolution. These insights offer opportunities for establishing new technologies.

Abstract: The subject of the talk will be using such opportunities to use new approaches for pest biocontrol technologies. Recently, there has been a rush to commercialize siRNA-based biopesticides that come in the form of dsRNA, however, from these efforts it has become clear that not animals respond. To address this, the Flynt group and collaborators have used piRNA-based technology. Results show effectiveness in silencing target gene expression while also affording greater flexibility in formulation of molecules. The Flynt group also offers the community computational tools for characterization of small RNA, which will also be highlighted in the seminar.
