Title: Analysis of cis-regulatory signal in the genome

Abstract: We will present recent results in our lab on the computational discovery of sequence elements that have transcritional regulatory function. We will discuss methods to identify sequence motifs and regulatory modules. The methods we use are based on comparative genomics and statistical modeling. Examples presented include Hox genes and ribosomal protein genes.

Seminar to be held in Room 107, 24 Hillhouse at 4:15 pm
