SUMMARY:UCLA Bioinformatics Minor Info Session
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Bioinformatics Minor program encourages all students currently enrolled as program minors as well as those who may be interested in learning more about the Bioinformatics minor as well as research opportunities in Bioinformatics to attend our quarterly information session on Thursday February 2nd from 4-5pm in Boelter Hall 4760. \n\nProgram faculty\, as well as current Bioinformatics undergraduate students involved in research\, will host this town hall style meeting to provide information about the bioinformatics minor and information on how to get involved in Bioinformatics research projects at UCLA. \n \nIn addition\, if you are an undergraduate student and want to present a poster\, there will be an opportunity to present posters. If you have already made one in the past please bring it with you to the event.  Please contact robert.zarlab@gmail.com if you are bringing a poster so we can have an easel for you. \nLight refreshments will be provided.

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.
