DESCRIPTION:Stem cells divide repeatedly\, generating daughter cells which
  specialise to perform the different functions needed in a tissue. This pr
 ocess of specialisation involves dramatic changes in proteins in the cell\
 , and the generation of these proteins is tightly regulated. Proteins are 
 encoded for by genes in the DNA which can be switched on or off\, but ther
 e are many additional layers of more precise control which act on the inte
 rmediate mRNA. Visualising mRNA molecules using microscopy during the proc
 ess of differentiation allows us to understand these regulatory processes\
 , and how they change dynamically in normal tissue development. Specifical
 ly\, I use the model system of the fruit fly ovary to understand the regul
 ation of germline stem cell specialisation to produce the egg.\n
