Guest Speaker: Dr. Robin Dowell, Professor, Molecular Cellular and Developmental BiologyTitle: “Finding Treasure in Nascent Transcription”
Abstract: Transcription factors orchestrate transcription and play a critical role in cellular maintenance, identity and response to external stimuli. While ChIP assays have measured DNA localization, they fall short of identifying when and where transcription factors are actively regulating transcription.
Run-on nascent transcription assays, on the other hand, measure the immediate output of all cellular polymerase. Using biologically informed models of RNA polymerase II, we can identify genome wide thousands of sites of transcription initiation, from which short, bidirectional, unstable transcripts are produced. These sites of bidirectional transcription mark enhancers and promoters. Furthermore, production of the bidirectional transcripts serves as an excellent marker of transcription factor activity. From these markers we can identify which TFs respond to a perturbation, identify the set of TFs actively participating in regulation within a cell type, and tie some disease associated variation to its regulatory function.
