TITLE:

Molecular Networks: The Next-generation Annotation for Personal Genomes

Mark Gerstein

Yale University

My talk will be concerned the analysis of networks and the use of
networks as a "next-generation annotation" for interpreting personal
genomes. I will initially describe current approaches to genome
annotation in terms of one-dimension browser tracks. Then I will
describe various aspects of networks. In particular, I will touch on
the following topics: (1) I will show how analyzing the structure of
the regulatory network indicates that it has a hierarchical layout
with the "middle-managers" acting as information-flow bottlenecks and
with more "influential" TFs on top. (2) I will show that most human
variation occurs at the periphery of the network. (3) I will compare
the topology and variation of the regulatory network to the call graph
of a computer operating system, showing that they have different
patterns of variation. (4) I will talk about web-based tools for the
analysis of networks (TopNet and tYNA).
