About the Webinar
In this webinar, you will learn how Evf2 long non-coding RNA organizes chromosomal domains and enhancer-gene regulation to control brain development, using single-cell transcriptomic and Hi-C approaches.
Key Takeways:
- Evf2 lncRNA guides enhancer-gene regulation and organizes chromosomal domains during brain development
- The roles of direct RNA binding and ribonucleoprotein recruitment in gene activation and repression
- Single-cell transcriptomic and Hi-C approaches to map lncRNA function and genome topology
- Emerging implications for neurodevelopmental disorders and new avenues in functional genomics
This webinar was hosted by xTalks.
Meet the Speakers
Jhumku Kohtz, PhD
Northwestern UniversityJhumku D. Kohtz, PhD, is a Research Professor of Neurology at Northwestern University, specializing in RNA regulatory mechanisms during brain development. Her pioneering work uncovered how the Evf2 lncRNA regulates enhancer activity and gene expression, which are critical for interneuron differentiation, with a focus on chromatin architecture, disease risk and advanced omics technologies.
