There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title:
Conservation and function in the human genome
Abstract:
I will present a modern view of the human genome, particularly as it relates to gene regulation, which appears to be encoded by a vastly more complex genomic layer than we ever suspected. I will describe some of our own work that helps us appreciate the complexity and mysteries that make our genome such a fascinating research topic.
