FAES Science Insight Series: Retrotransposons and Retroviruses; DNA on the Move
This series invites Principal Investigators, Senior Scientists, and Senior Clinicians to share cutting-edge research and developments in their fields in the FAES Learning Labs in Building 10. Each session includes a 20-30 minute presentation followed by a Q&A or journal club discussion, fostering deeper insights and scholarly exchange. Lunch is provided on a first come first served basis.
This event is for members of the NIH community only. You must register with your nih.gov email to confirm your registration.
Retrotransposons and Retroviruses; DNA on the Move with Henry Levin, Ph.D., Senior Investigator, NICHD, Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile forms of DNA that dominate the eukaryotic genome. With regulatory sequences and high copy numbers TEs form regulatory networks that drive genome evolution. Our use of high read sequencing has identified layered mechanisms of TEs that enhance survival when confronted with environmental stress.
