If you have a question about this talk, please contact Jordan McCormick. The developmental control of gene expression is a highly dynamic process that ensures that genes are expressed at the correct time, in the correct cell type and at the correct level. This process is regulated via a complex interplay of transcription factors (TF) and molecules that change chromatin structure. Using the amount of sequencing-based data available for the different stages of haematopoietic specification of murine ES cell, our project goal is to predict enhancer/priming element activity and thus understand the temporal regulation of gene expression. In this seminar, I will present, 1) the biological problem; 2) a Machine Learning technique called iterative Random Forests (iRF) that through training a classifier, it discovers important (nonlinear) interactions between features (TF binding patterns, chromatin marks and chromatin state) that define enhancer activity for subsets of genomic elements; 3) a bias in the data due to the biological nature of the problem; 4) and possible new approach to deal with this bias.
