SUMMARY:Brandon Gaut Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Plant DNA methylation: An evolutionary perspective \nPlants methylate the DNA of both transposable elements (TEs) and genes.  For the former\, DNA methylation and other epigenetic modifications suppress TE activity.  From studies in several systems\, it is now clear that the epigenetic modification of TEs can affect the expression of nearby genes and also that the epigenetic interaction between TEs and their hosts is evolutionarily consequential.  Many of the epigenetic mechanisms that plants use to modify TEs have been characterized\, but an important mystery remains: how is a naïve TE recognized by the plant host in the first place?  We believe we have uncovered a clue to this important interaction for one type of element\, Sirevirus LTR retrotransposons. By analyzing a set of carefully annotated\, full-length elements from maize\, we show that small RNAs map to specific regions of the element\, particularly a complex palindrome-rich region that forms hairpins and acts as a cis-regulatory elements.  We hypothesize that the palindromes aid the silencing of active elements and influence transposition potential\, siRNA targeting levels\, and ultimately the fate of an element within the genome. Just as TEs are methylated in plants\, so is a subset of genes.  Several recent papers have demonstrated that the presence of genic DNA methylation within an individual gene is conserved across plant lineages.  These genes tend to evolve slowly and are expressed broadly. However\, the function of genic DNA methylation remains unclear\, if indeed it has a function. Genic DNA methylation does correlate weakly with gene expression\, but it has been difficult to separate cause from effect.  As a result\, the function and evolution of genic methylation remains mysterious.

SUMMARY:Markus Covert Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Our lab recently reported completion of the first “whole-cell” model\, explicitly accounting for the known functions of every gene product and molecule in the simplest culturable bacterium\, Mycoplasma genitalium.  In this talk I will discuss our efforts to expand this new technology to model more complicated organisms\, as well as the applications that we see for such models.

SUMMARY:Adam Siepel Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Transcriptional regulatory changes have been shown to contribute to phenotypic differences between species\, but many questions remain about how gene expression evolves. In this talk\, I will present the first comparative study of nascent transcription in primates. We used PRO-seq to map actively transcribing RNA polymerases in resting and activated CD4+ T-cells in multiple human\, chimpanzee\, and rhesus macaque individuals\, with rodents as outgroups. This approach allowed us to directly measure active transcription separately from post-transcriptional processes. We observed general conservation in coding and non-coding transcription\, punctuated by numerous differences between species\, particularly at distal enhancers and non-coding RNAs. Transcription factor binding sites are a primary determinant of transcriptional differences between species. We found evidence for stabilizing selection on gene expression levels and adaptive substitutions associated with lineage-specific transcription. Finally\, rates of evolutionary change are strongly correlated with long-range chromatin interactions. These observations clarify the role of primary transcription in regulatory evolution.

SUMMARY:Bin Zhang Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Network biology has been increasingly utilized to model large-scale Omics data for its great potential to identify novel key variables and interacting pathways underlying a biological function\, system or state under examination. Often a single type of molecular networks (gene coexpression network\, gene causal network\, protein interaction network) is used for a particular Omics study. For complex biological systems or diseases\, any single type of networks may be insufficient to fully characterize the underlying Omics data. Multiscale network modeling emerges as a more powerful way to dissect complex molecular interactions and regulations in such complex systems or diseases for identification of novel pathways and targets that are essential to maintain biological functions\, initiate disease process or drive disease progression. In this talk\, I will introduce our latest progresses on constructing and analyzing multiscale molecular networks including weighted interaction network analysis (WINA)\, multiscale embedded gene coexpression network analysis (MEGENA) and differential gene correlation analysis (DGCA)\, and highlight their applications to cancer\, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
