Extreme comparative genomics
Eddy Rubin
Director of DOE
Joint Genomics Institute, Walnut Creek, USA
The Joint Genome Institute is a large-scale production
DNA sequencing and analysis facility that has studied
the genomes of multiple microbes, plants and animals.The
exploitation of genomic sequence data and the comparison
of sequences from different organisms have had and will
continue to have far reaching impact on all fields of
science. It has been used to decipher
the machinery of human gene regulation and is beginning
to play a role in the development of new approaches to
renewable bioenergy production.
Dr Rubin will discuss these two disparate areas linked
by novel uses of high throughput sequence data.
