"The Functional Landscape of Gene Expression in Yeast and Mouse"

Friday, April 28, 2006
Maclaurin Building (3-270)
3:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Light refreshments served at 2:45 p.m.

Abstract
Research in my laboratory capitalizes on relationships between gene 
regulation, gene expression, and gene function.  In organisms ranging 
from microbes to mammals, gene expression data has consistently 
revealed patterns in which groups of functionally-related genes are 
co-expressed and are presumably driven by dedicated regulators.  We 
are interested in describing how these patterns arise, and in 
determining the roles of uncharacterized genes that are components of 
the patterns.  I will describe our efforts in solving these problems 
in both yeast and mouse, using experimental approaches that are 
applicable on a large scale, and can be readily coupled to 
computational analysis.  Some of these approaches should be 
transferable to sequenced organisms without well-developed genetic 
systems.
