LamondCentre for Gene Regulation & Gene Expression, School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, UK"Molecular analysis of human diversity and its impact on drug discovery using iPS cells"Abstract:The impact of normal genetic diversity in human populations is important for understanding many aspects of health, disease and patient responses to drugs and therapeutics. Modern ‘omics’ and imaging technologies, can provide invaluable insights, at a systems level, into cell physiology and phenotypes relevant to both health and disease. I will describe our recent work and resulting insights from characterizing, in depth, the genomes, proteomes...

This is partly caused by how mammalian eggs are formed. Women are born with a limited pool of follicles containing future eggs. This so-called ovarian reserve will be used during every woman's reproductive lifespan to produce fertilizable eggs. Thus, female fertility ends once this pool of follicles falls below a certain threshold (in humans, ~1000 primordial follicles)....

However, our understanding of the functional roles these modifications play during these processes remains incomplete because of the redundancy of most histone modifying enzymes and the frequent toxicity of the respective knockout models. To overcome these...

These targets comprise Master Regulator proteins, whose concerted activity within a Regulatory Checkpoint module is responsible for the mechanistic implementation and maintenance of cell transcriptional state, in both transformed and non-transformed cells. By leveraging these methodologies, we have...

GilbertLaboratory of Chromosome Replication and Epigenome Regulation, San Diego Biomedical Research Institute, CA, USA"Regulation of Replication Timing and Chromosome Architecture"Host: Roderic GuigóAbstract:The mammalian genome is replicated in a defined temporal sequence during S phase of each cell cycle known as the replication timing program. Since chromatin is assembled at the replication fork, and different types of chromatin are assembled at different times, replication timing is positioned to be central to maintenance or alteration of chromatin states. We have found that replication timing is a highly stable cell-type...
