- WHAT: Gene Regulation
- WHEN: October 30th, 1-4pm
- WHERE: Scaife Hall, Falk Library, Classroom 2
- WHO: Ansuman Chattopahyay & Sri Chaparala
- HOW: Register here
Workshop Objective:
This 3-hr hands-on workshop provides an overview of resources and search strategies on transcriptional regulation. Emphasis will be given to HSLS-licensed TRANSFAC/Match and Correlation Engine software.
Participants will learn how to
- retrieve promoter sequence for a gene of interest using UCSC Genome browser
- locate transcription factor binding sites present in a query sequence using Match
- visualize the regulatory regions present in the human genome generated by the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project
- browse through epigenetic biochemical markers
- start with a GEO data set and find correlated studies using Correlation Engine
Target Audience:
Experimental biologists studying epigenetic regulation on gene expression and interested in analyzing promoter and enhancer sequences. The software covered in the workshop operates through a user-friendly, point-and-click graphical user Interface, so neither programming experience nor familiarity with command line interface is required.
