Steven E. Brenner

Steven E. Brenner is a Professor in the Department of BIO at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on computational and experimental genomics, with an emphasis on gene regulation through alternative splicing and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. He explores the role of RNA surveillance systems in identifying transcripts with premature termination codons and their degradation. Brenner's work also includes predicting protein function using Bayesian phylogenomics and analyzing metagenomic data to understand microbial communities in health and disease. His research spans collaborations with various institutions and projects, including the modENCODE consortium and the Sorcerer II global ocean sampling initiative. His lab's efforts aim to improve genome annotation and uncover evolutionary relationships in protein function.
