Insights into human biology from RNA-seq data
In this seminar I will discuss use for RNA-seq data to investigate on two biological questions. First, we studied expression, evolution and functions of a putative miRNA that appeared and undergone copy number amplification on the human evolutionary lineage after the split from the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. Second, we determined the extent of antisense expression in the human brain throughout the lifespan and investigated its influence on expression of the corresponding sense genes.
