SUMMARY:Looking under the hood\; profiling genome function with sequencing

DESCRIPTION:Modern sequencing technologies are facilitating the exploratio
 n of functional elements of the genome at resolutions previously not possi
 ble. This technology is allowing in-depth and comprehensive investigations
  of populations of RNA transcripts\, non-coding RNAs\, protein-DNA interac
 tions and epigenetic regulatory events across the genome. Robustly detecti
 ng and comparing these functional events within and across genomes present
 s substantial challenges due to the presence of substantial data generatio
 n biases and complexities in reliably classifying equivalent events. This 
 talk will discuss some of these challenges\, analytical approaches current
 ly being deployed to begin to address these and the progress to date in tr
 anslating these large sequence datasets into a deeper understanding of gen
 ome function.
