Stern: most of modEncode data not so useful. :-/ #BG2011
2011-05-13 10:55:43But wait...what about novelty? RT @genome_gov: DS: performed an assay invented by Gregor Mendel... ...they did a cross #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:58:23Doug Antczak: Maintenance of epigenetic imprints interspecies hybrids #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:59:01Now trending on Science Pond: #bg2011 http://bit.ly/mgIs8e
2011-05-13 11:00:03DA: genetic studies in mules - one can't make an F2, that didn't stop the study, it just made it "harder" #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:00:20Mules as a genetic model? But you can't make an f2! Stubbornness from Doug Antczak at #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:00:51Doug Antczak is talking about epigenetic imprinting in mules. Notes genetics in mules is tough: can't make an F2. #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:00:54Antczak: problem with studying genetics of mules - no F2 generations possible! #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:01:34DA: evidence from human disease and mouse fetuses indicates the paternal genome controls placental growth. #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:02:44Stern: shavenbaby has special place in developmental network. gets used repeatedly to pattern trichomes in highly diverged species #BG2011
2011-05-13 11:03:26DA wins the oldest slide competition: figure of gonadotrophin levels in horse/donkey/mule published in 1969. #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:04:25DA: Effect of imprinting and parent of origin on development of placenta. #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:05:58DA: Using RNA-seq data, 93 imprinted genes detected #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:07:25DA: did RNA-seq in mule - 93 genes showed biased expression from either the horse or donkey parent. #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:08:06Tal Dagan: cumulative impact of chaperone-mediated folding on genome evolution #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:16:53TD: chaperones buffer genetic variation; mutations could exist, but chaperones compensate #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:19:59Tal Dagan's hypothesis: chaperones buffer the maladaptive effects of mutations, increase evolutionary rate for substrates #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:21:53TD: do proteins that rely on chaperones to fold evolve faster (because of the buffering effect on mutations?) #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:23:33TD: chaperonin-assisted folding increases evolutionary rate (in E. coli) #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:23:52TD: signal clear in bacteria. Harder to pick apart in yeast - chaperone machinery much more complex #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:26:22TD: in yeast? chaperone-substrate interactions network more complex; some chaperones are promiscuous #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:27:46Interesting ? indeed @luke__ward TD: do proteins that rely on chaperones 2 fold evolve faster b/c of buffering effects on mutations? #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:28:19So, she does network analysis. Modules of promiscuous chaperone-substrate evolve at different rates #bg2011
2011-05-13 11:30:02TD: substrate evolutionary rate found to correlate with chaperone "promiscuousness" #bg2011
