Welcome to the Marchfelder laboratory
Investigation of the RNA metabolism in halophilic Archaea
Research projects
We are interested in the RNA metabolism of halophilic archaea. Currently we are working on the following projects using the halophilic archaea Haloferax volcanii, Natrialba magadii, Haloterrigena turkmenica and Halorubrum lacusprofundi:
CRISPR-Cas functions beyond defence (SPP2141)
The prokaryotic immune system CRISPR-Cas (FOR1680)
