• BME 280B Seminar: Satellite repeats encode megabase-scale transcription factor hubs

    Physical Sciences Building Physical Sciences Building, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Matt Franklin, Postdoctoral Researcher, Stanford University Description: Eukaryotic genomes contain large stretches of repetitive DNA called satellite DNA, often found near centromeres and ribosomal DNA regions. In humans, alpha satellite has well-established roles in centromere biology, however the functions of other human satellite DNAs remain largely unexplored. We recently identified the Hippo pathway effector […]
