# Leveraging experimental and computational tools to define molecular functions of non-coding RNAs in innate immune responses to viral infection

> **NIH NIH R21** · COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES · 2020 · $206,250

## Abstract

We seek to characterize the roles and functions of newly identified lncRNA ZFAS1 and its
SNORDs both in vitro and in vivo contexts of viral infection and nucleic acid sensing.
