Title:Understanding the non-coding genome
Abstract:
Non-coding regions account for over 98% of the human genome, constituting important yet largely unknown gene regulatory functions. GWAS studies have found that the vast majority of the associated loci for complex diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer fall in non-coding regions. However unlike the protein-coding sequence where there is a clear genetic code, we have little knowledge how DNA sequences specify regulatory functions. Recent development in high-throughput technology has made it possible to query multiple cascades of transcriptome activity, from chromatin accessibility/states, mRNA initiation/splicing to post-transcriptional modification. My work is to explore these multi-omics data resources to build a comprehensive map of functional variation and their association with disease. We demonstrate that new computational approaches combining genomic and functional genomic data are of exceptional utility to unlock the non-coding genome.
