Description:
Press coverage of the release of the human genome sequence in 2001 focused on the surprisingly small number of genes in the human genome (approximately 30,000), possibly explained by the complexity of the switching machinery involved in activating and deactivating genes in various environmental conditions. In this program, William Noble describes a technique for locating occurrences of the transcriptional regulatory modules that act as switches. Speaker(s):
