Title: ALS-Associated FUS Mutations Result in Compromised FUS Alternative Splicing and Autoregulation
Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Location: Room 626 BMSB
Time: 12:15 – 1:15 pm
Learning objectives:
1. Understand the importance of studying FUS regulated RNA processing and its association with ALS.
