Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Wednesday, December 12 2012, 14:00 - 15:30 Event text: Dr Fran�ois-Yves Bouget Laboratory of microbial oceanography CNRS/ Universit� Pierre et Marie Curie Banyuls sur Mer FRANCE Details: �Ostreococcus a minimal green cell for integrated approaches of system biology and functional genomics� ABSTRACT In recent years the green picoalga Ostreocccus. tauri has emerged as a novel model organism for systems biology approaches that combine functional genomics and mathematical modeling, with a strong emphasis on light regulated processes including the cell division cycle and circadian clock. These approaches were made possible through the implementation of a minimal molecular toolbox for gene functional analysis including overexpression and knockdown strategies and more recently high frequency gene targeting by homologous recombination. Recent findings on the circadian clock architecture and its function in the marine environment will be presented.

Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Monday, December 3 2012, 11:00 - 12:30 Event text: Prof Anne Osbourn John Innes Centre Norwich UNITED KINGDOM Details: �Making new molecules� ABSTRACT Plants produce a huge array of natural products, many of which are specialised metabolites associated with particular species. These secondary metabolites often have important ecological roles, facilitating pollination and seed dispersal and/or providing protection against attack by pests and pathogens. Although the ability of plants to perform in vivo combinatorial chemistry by mixing, matching and evolving the genes required for different secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways is likely to have been critical for survival and diversification of the Plant Kingdom we know very little about the mechanisms underpinning this process. This talk will focus on plant natural product function and synthesis, the origins of metabolic diversity and potential for metabolic engineering, drawing on our research on terpene synthesis in crop and model plants.

Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Thursday, November 29 2012, 11:00 - 12:30 Event text: Prof Kathleen Marchal VIB, Dept. of Plant Systems Biology Ghent University Gent Dept. of Microbial and Molecular Systems K.U.Leuven Leuven BELGIUM Details: �Systems Biology: Network-based data integration� ABSTRACT In current wet-lab practice high-throughput expression profiling techniques are used to find components of response pathways, e.g. mRNA profiling focuses on identifying genes that are differentially expressed following stimuli or ChIP-chip techniques are being used to identify TF-target interactions. With the availability of next-gen sequencing, complete genotyping in combination with expression analysis allows finding genetic loci underlying interesting phenotypic traits. Each of the experiments mentioned above eventually results in a list of candidate genes or loci that all relate to the same phenotype of interest. Computational analysis of such unstructured lists will in most cases be restricted to a simple functional enrichment analysis to elucidate the potential pathways or functions the candidate genes belong to or to identify functionally related gene sets, but the interactions between the identified candidate genes or their role in the global molecular network of the cell remains unknown. To get a more structured insight in these results, we focus our research on developing tools that allow analyzing dedicated in-house experimental expression data and interrogating them with publicly available omics data.
