Topic: Mammalian Genomes
This afternoon's session started off with a topic I'm pretty far from, human and mammalian genomics. I've worked hard in my career to stay away from diploid genetics--I like the simplicity of viruses and prokaryotes by comparison. Today's talk was in 3 parts focusing on the human and mouse genomes, functional DNA and transcript maps and the future.
