</tt><h3>Titulo: “Estudio sistematico del genoma completo de C. elegans
durante la embriogenesis”<br><br>
Resumen:<b> </b></h3>"The acquisition of whole genome information
for many organisms has opened a new era in biology, in which the focus
has shifted to address the function of the genome. The major goal of my
research is to find and analyze genetic interactions in C. elegans early
embryogenesis in a systematic way. In order to discover interactions
between genes, I am working with embryonic lethal termosensitive mutants
and I am knocking-down the whole C. elegans genome. In the seminar I will
present preliminary results about the first network of enhancing or
aggravating interactions and suppressing or alleviating genetic
interactions in the embryo. Mapping genetics interactions in C. elegans
could be a valuable initial step in understanding the interactions and
functions of genes in more complex organisms both in physiological and
pathological condition. Therefore, it is expected that these findings
could have a significant impact in the development of new therapeutic
strategies in treatment of a wide range of human
conditions."<br><br>
