Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Julien Gagneur
2. April, 2023 2023-04-02 0:58Am Mittwoch, 15. Januar 2020, wird Prof. Dr. Julien Gagneur (Technical University of Munich, TUM Department of Informatics, Germany) einen Vortrag im Rahmen der ZBI “Distinguished Speaker Series” zum Thema “Modeling the regulatory code: From basic biology to clinical research” halten
Abstract
My lab is interested in understanding how gene expression is encoded in genomes, and how to leverage this knowledge for medical application. To this end, we employ statistical modeling of ‘omics data and work in close collaboration with experimentalists. I will provide an overview of recent studies on RNA metabolism [1] and protein expression control [2] and on deep learning based models of cis-regulatory elements [3,4]. I will also report on methodologies for using RNA-sequencing as a powerful companion tool to genome sequencing for pinpointing causes of rare genetic disorders [5,6].
