DESCRIPTION:Prof. Karla M. Neugebauer\, Yale School of Medicine\, New Have
 n\, CT (USA)\nWEEKLY BIOENGINEERING COLLOQUIA SERIES\n\n\nAbstract:\nGene 
 expression in eukaryotes involves the collaboration between multiple machi
 nes. RNA polymerase is a holoenzyme that has to navigate the genome wrappe
 d up in nucleosomes. Meanwhile\, the nascent RNA is operated on by several
  different macromolecular complexes that process it into different gene pr
 oducts\, such that each gene is capable of making RNA (and likely protein)
  products that diverge from the initial genetic code. We are interested in
  the dynamic interplay between these machines\, which can operate at diffe
 rent rates and are subject to different kinds of regulation. We have devis
 ed new ways of analyzing nascent RNA in order to establish these relations
 hips and discover new mechanisms of gene regulation.\n\nBio:\n\n	Current:
