Talk Overview: The discovery of small non-coding RNAs that regulate mRNA expression and translation levels added an exciting new layer of complexity to the control of gene expression. In his talk, Gary Ruvkun describes the experiments that led to the identification of the first microRNA, lin-4, which downregulates the translation of lin-14, a protein needed in the early development of the model organism C. elegans. Since then, a wide variety of small regulatory non-coding RNAs that affect numerous cellular processes have been discovered in almost every organism.
Speaker Biography: Gary Ruvkun is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. His lab has been instrumental in identifying the regulation mechanisms of microRNAs, and was the first to show that microRNAs were conserved amongst animals. Ruvkun is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Ruvkun has won numerous awards, including the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research and the Louisa Horwitz Prize from Columbia University for his work on non-coding RNAs.
The central dogma I know from high school but this shows there is so much more going on. Nice to see how this developed.
cool video and great story!
to be honest, i love the cover of that presentation ugh
this guy explains little or nothing about his slides especially regarding mutants. all he does is cite labs and names and rambles on about interdisciplinary biology. save your 17 minutes
that's my main criticism about these ibio talks. a lot of these researchers feel the need to feed their ego by going about fancy labs and throwing people's names around.
does a poor job of explaining his diagrams.
he needs to just stick to the topic.
i bet this guy had never seen a poontang until he was 24. now.....he prolly is married to a supermodel lol.
