'The human genome as an RNA machine' with Prof. John Mattick with Institute for Molecular Bioscience at University of Queensland, Australia LEXINGTON, Mass. and HEIDELBERG, Germany, June 5
LEXINGTON, Mass. and HEIDELBERG, Germany, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- febit
holding gmbh today unveiled plans for the first of a series of educational
Webinars geared for genomics researchers worldwide.
Moderated by febit's chief scientific officer, Peer Staehler, the
first Webinar, which is set for 11 a.m. EDT on June 12, will feature John
Mattick, Ph.D., a world-renowned researcher whose focus is the role of
non-protein-coding ("junk") RNA in relation to the evolution and development
of complex organisms.
"Genetic information that programs complex organisms lie in non-protein
coding RNA," said Dr. Mattick, foundation professor of molecular biology and
director of the Centre for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, with the
Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland, Australia.
"This massive hidden network of regulatory information directs the precise
patterns of gene expression during growth and development."
Mr. Staehler added: "This educational Webinar for the genomics researchers
is the first of many to come. The team at febit is dedicated to support
researchers to solve the challenge of understanding biological processes."
