Abstract
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome. Much of the remaining non-coding DNA is of uncertain significance, but at least a part of it regulates where and when genes will be expressed. Deciphering this regulatory code is challenging but also crucial for understanding how hundreds of cell types are generated from the same genome during development, how they change their function during evolution, and how we can harness these processes to engineer better cellular therapies. In my talk, I will draw examples from my own research to illustrate how recent advances in experimental methodology and machine learning are revolutionising our ability to decode the regulatory genome.
