Questions relating to the seminar series should be directed to Liza Herendeen (lherend1@bsd.uchicago.edu, 773 834 3913) Related Website 2000-11-13T22:00:57+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/nucleic-acid-sequence/ http://www.igsb.org/events/nucleic-acid-sequence/#When:16:00:40Z In partnership with several universities, NASA Ames Genome Research Facility has developed novel applications of high-density DNA oligonucleotide microarrays for probing RNA expression of both protein-coding and non-protein-coding sequences in the completed genomes of several model organisms and the human genome. Computational methods for the design and analysis of the whole-genome tiling microarrays were developed by using the NASA Ames supercomputer. This work resulted in the confirmation of nearly all previous gene expression results generated with other techniques, and identified thousands of genes and RNA transcripts that were previously undescribed by all other methods. 2007-02-16T16:00:40+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/Cis-regulatory_Variants/ http://www.igsb.org/events/Cis-regulatory_Variants/#When:16:30:11Z Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors that bind to a variable family of motifs in a gene’s promoter; however the role of variability within motif families has not been systematically studied. Deciphering the function of these variable positions is important for understanding the complex cis-regulatory code that underlies the physiology, ecology and evolution of gene expression. Using a computational approach, I show that functional variants of these motifs among genes within the yeast genome are associated with condition-specific differential expression. The regulatory consequences of these variants are often conserved across different yeast species, and their evolution is associated with change in gene expression. The power of binding site variants to predict gene expression is tested by experimentally switching between binding site variants through site-directed mutagenesis in yeast. 2007-02-20T16:30:11+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/low-order-numerical-integration/ http://www.igsb.org/events/low-order-numerical-integration/#When:16:30:44Z [related website] 2007-02-28T16:30:44+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/signal-transduction/ http://www.igsb.org/events/signal-transduction/#When:16:30:57Z Two-component signal transduction, comprised of histidine kinases and response regulators, allows bacteria to sense and respond to their environment. Using a systems-level approach, we have rapidly identified pathways which control growth, morphogenesis, and cell cycle progression. Our methods are generally applicable to all bacteria which use this mode of signal transduction. In addition, we have uncovered fundamental principles of two-component signal transduction which explain how pathways remain insulated in vivo. Caulobacter, a member of the a-proteobacteria, is closely related to Zymomonas mobilis. How the knowledge gained in Caulobacter, and the tools we have developed, can be applied to bacteria important for lignocellulose biodegradation and ethanol production will be discussed. 2008-01-23T16:30:57+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/individualizing-the-axilla/ http://www.igsb.org/events/individualizing-the-axilla/#When:22:00:43Z 2009-10-02T22:00:43+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/aberrant-wnt-signaling/ http://www.igsb.org/events/aberrant-wnt-signaling/#When:22:00:11Z 2009-10-06T22:00:11+00:00 http://www.igsb.org/events/human-genome-project/ http://www.igsb.org/events/human-genome-project/#When:22:00:00Z Dr. Robert Waterston, a distinguished alumnus of The University of Chicago, who is Professor and Chair, Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, has been invited by the Department of Human Genetics as a featured speaker following the 500th Convocation of The University of Chicago on October 9, 2009.

After many hours of hard manual labor, the cave people disassemble the cars into myriad small parts. Some parts are damaged, whereas some are intact. A few interact with each other, while others do not. Some pieces are different in different cars, yet apparently have the same function. The leap to understanding the whole from knowing the parts requires compilation of many pieces of information into a comprehensive ³computable² model. Researchers in the field of molecular biology are in a situation similar to that of the junkyard cave people, save that they are contemplating a collection of diverse pieces of cellular machinery‹the number of those cellular components is way greater than the number of parts in a typical car‹the number of nodes in human molecular networks is measured in hundreds of thousands when all substances (genes, RNAs, proteins, and other molecules) are considered together. These numerous substances can be in turn present or absent in dozens of cell types in humans‹clearly, the complexity is too great to yield to manual analysis. The information overload in molecular biology is a mere example of the status common to all fields of the current science and culture: An ever-strengthening avalanche of novel data and ideas overwhelms specialists and non-specialists alike, unavoidably fragments knowledge, and makes enormous chunks of knowledge invisible/inaccessible to those who desperately need it. The help of relieving the information overload may come from the text-miners who can automatically extract and catalogue facts described in books and journals. My talk will touch the following six questions: What is text-mining? In what ways is text-mining useful? What can large-scale analyses of scientific literature tell us about both active and forgotten knowledge? What can such analyses tells us about the scientific community itself? How do mathematical models help us to differentiate true and false statements in literature? How will text-mining help us to find cures for human and non-human maladies?

Here I present an approach for integrating a diversity of molecular and clinical trait data to uncover models that predict complex system behavior.  By integrating diverse types of data on a large scale I demonstrate that some forms of common human diseases are most likely the result of perturbations to specific gene networks that in turn causes changes in the states of other gene networks both within and between tissues that drive biological processes associated with disease.  These models elucidate not only primary drivers of disease and drug response, but they provide a context within which to interpret biological function, beyond what could be achieved by looking at one dimension alone.  That some forms of common human diseases are the result of complex interactions among networks has significant implications for drug discovery: designing drugs or drug combinations to impact entire network states rather than designing drugs that target specific disease associated genes.

Yet, genome-scale key regulatory networks and biological systems perturbed by altered microRNA functions in cancer remain to be identified since previous studies biologically confirmed only a few genes as microRNA targets. Here, we demonstrate for the first time how a large amount of phenotypic knowledge of inheritable cancer traits can be utilized jointly with microRNA-target predictions, based on sequence alignment, and with gene expression analysis to bioinformatically predict deregulated microRNAs, their targets, and their combined functions at multiple scales of biology. Our approach further uncovers previously unknown connections between microRNAs, gene network topology, and gene expression dynamics. We predict, in silico, the presence, functions, and gene targets of miR-204, a new tumor suppressor microRNA, in a head and neck cancer-associated genomic region where a candidate gene has not been identified. We then confirm their validity with thorough biological characterization in vitro and show reduction of lung metastasis in vivo. This is the first time that a large predicted microRNA-regulated network achieves full biological validation.

This area is often referred to as “ecogenomics”, and requires not only the extraction of functional information from metagenomic databases, but also the understanding of functional metabolic units and their role in natural systems. It is the intersection of these two approaches that provides the possibility to couple genomics and function in natural microbial communities. We are using an approach that couples a function-based live cell presorting step to single-cell analysis at both the physiological and genetic levels. This approach allows culture-independent enrichment of live cells involved in specific functions, analysis of a variety of phenotypic capabilities at the single cell level, then targeting of those cells that test positive for specific functions for further culture-dependent and sequencing analysis. Our test case involves C1 cycling in Lake Washington, a site for which we have carried out a variety of culture-dependent and culture-independent analyses of the communities involved in C1 cycling. We have developed a prototype single cell analysis system for carrying out the upstream screening, technology created within the Single Cell Observatory at the University of Washington. This system is effective in identifying cells capable of respiring C1 compounds, effectively coupling this function to both metagenomic and pure culture genomic databases.

Wolcott Avenue, Chicago. This intensive workshop builds on last year’s successful workshop and will offer a theoretical and practical introduction to tandem mass spectrometry proteomics, including the key experimental methods and computational tools needed to pursue analysis of complex proteomic samples. Attendees will participate in 5 full days of training, including sample preparation, peptide separation, mass spectrometry, and data analysis. Graduate credit for the course will be available from the CIC Traveling Scholar Program. For more information about this program please visit the CIC website http://www.cic.net We can accommodate 20 attendees for this workshop. We anticipate that there may be more applicants than spaces available. If that is the case, the organizers will select participants to achieve a broad representation of institutions, levels of training, range of scientific fields, and levels of experience in proteomics. Space will fill up fast so please submit your application as soon as possible. Registration To be considered for the workshop please send your CV and a short summary of your research to ksnapp@northwestern.edu. Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows should have their PI send a statement describing how proteomics will be used in the trainee’s research. Attendees will be selected starting on July 12th and can hold a space in the course with a tuition fee of $350.
