演題： Sequence Analysis and its Application to the Study of RNA Interferenceand the Analysis of Junk DNA

要旨：

In this talk, I will demonstrate how sequence-based analysis can be used effectively to solve various problems from the biological domain. In particular, I will concentrate on our recent work on two seemingly unrelated problems, the study of RNA interference (RNAi) and the analysis of human junk DNA. In addition to showing experimental results for our RNAi predictions, I will present and discuss evidence suggesting the existence of a link that connects large portions of human junk DNA and nearly the entire human transcriptome and implicates RNAi as one possible mechanism.
