molecular biology would be deal for this post. Expertise in the 
analysis of  nucleic acid-protein interactions would also be 
appropriate. 

This laboratory specialises in the analysis of nuclear pre-mRNA 
splicing, using a combination of genetic and biochemical 
approaches to characterise protein splicing factors and RNA-protein 
interactions (e.g. Cooper et al., 1995, EMBO J. 14:2066-2075; 
Teigelkamp et al., 1995, EMBO J.14:2602-2612). Accommodation is in
