Talk title: High throughput data of regulation of transcription initiation in E.coli: updating concepts and datasets.
Abstract:
Based on close to 30 years of curating knowledge of regulation of transcription initiation in E.coli, I will present some examples of classic concepts that have to be expanded to deal with advances in the field. Then I will show how we have gathered and organized diverse datasets from HT in RegulonDB and will discuss future challenges.
Biography:
Dr. Julio Collado-Vides is a Professor at UNAM in the area of bioinformatics of regulation of gene expression in bacteria. His work has been recognized in Mexico and abroad. His main contributions include a grammatical model of gene regulation, the computational modeling of regulation of transcription initiation in Escherichia coli, contained in RegulonDB and a review of the basic concepts of transcriptional regulation published in Nature Reviews Genetics (2020). His focus on gene regulation has contributed to generating algorithms to predict operons, applying bioinformatic methods to predict promoters and binding sites, as well as analyzing the regulatory network and its global properties. He is a regular member of the Mexican Academy of Science; he has also been President Founder of the Mexican Society of Genomics (2000), and was recognized with the National University Award in Natural Science Research 2004 and the Scopus Elsevier recognition for his highly cited publications in 2007. His laboratory is responsible for the Bioinformatics Mexican National Node EMBNET and he was appointed Director of the Center for Genomic Sciences from 2005 to 2009.
