Michael G. Nelson's work uses genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics tools to study gene structure, protein isoforms, and RNA regulation, often using Drosophila (fruit flies) and yeast as model organisms. Recent projects span topics such as detecting mobile genetic elements (transposable elements) in genome sequencing data, characterizing protein variants produced from single genes, and analyzing how proteins and RNA molecules interact in the cell to control gene expression after transcription.
