To solve this, we require not just a catalog of molecules, but an organized "periodic table" of cell types, mapping their molecular identities across development to pinpoint where and when these proteins function. Leveraging the experimental power of the Xenopus frog, we have built the foundation for such a resource. We first performed a...

A major challenge is moving from observing its correlates to identifying its fundamental, targetable bottlenecks. In this talk, I will explore a reverse-engineering approach, using pharmacological interventions in model organisms to deconstruct the mechanisms of aging and pinpoint promising avenues for intervention. I will discuss how we can leverage existing biological data and what new,...

In this talk, I will be providing a brief retrospective of our past 20 years of discoveries in genome evolution, along with related recent and unpublished stories. I will discuss the extensive and rapid turn-over of tissue-specific transcription factor binding, CTCF insulator elements, polymerase occupancies, and enhancer...
