Multidimensional Approach to Decoding the Mysteries of Animal Development

Development and evolution are controlled, to a large degree, by regions of genomic DNA called enhancers that encode binding sites for transcription factor proteins. The binding of activators and repressors increases and reduces gene expression levels, respectively, but it is not understood how combinations of activators and repressors generate precise patterns of transcription during development. Towards this aim, we have developed novel methods to dissect transcriptional enhancers to understand their role in determining patterns of gene expression in the fruit fly, a classic model system. Finally, We will discuss our research focused on developmental networks using our high-throughput robotics and multiomics combined with synthetic biology.

In this webinar, you will learn

The role of enhancer architecture on gene expression by creating synthetic networks for pattern formation.

How gene expression patterns are controlled during animal development and disease, in addition to new approaches to understanding how animals respond to rapid environmental changes.

How the genome code’s linear sequences support specific and detailed expression patterns through the fruit fly model system combined with Mutant Libraries.
