Talk Title: The 3D genome organization and long-range control of gene expression
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: The 3D genome organization plays an essential role in orchestrating the many essential nuclear processes including gene regulation. Great strides have been made recently to characterize the 3D chromatin architecture in mammalian cells, with the development of both technologies for genome-wide study of chromatin interactions at increasing precision and concepts such as "chromosome territories," "topologically associating domains" and "chromatin loops." I will discuss how these new concepts are transforming the study of gene regulatory mechanisms in mammalian cells, by giving specific examples that illustrate the role of 3D chromatin organization in developing revolutionary tools in sequencing diploid genomes, understanding molecular basis of genetic disorders caused by genome structural variations and predicting target genes of enhancers.
