Germ cells, transposons, and non-coding RNAs (Norman B. Hecht, Ph.D.)
2011-1-28 (Fri) 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Title of presentation: Germ cells, transposons, and non-coding RNAs
Speaker: Norman B. Hecht, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine
The Genome Information Research Center is honored to have Dr. Hecht serving as a visiting professor through March 15. Don't miss this opportunity to hear him talk!
Abstract: The mammalian testis contains over 500 RNA-binding proteins and many transcripts that do not encode proteins (non-coding RNAs) such as the abundant piRNAs. In this seminar the effects of gene targeting a population of piRNAs and a new group of small RNAs that selectively bind to the germ cell-specific DNA/RNA-binding protein MSY2 will be discussed. MSY2 is a multifunctional protein essential for fertility in both males and females.
