实验室系列学术报告——From -omics to answers: Iron homeostasis in plants

报告简介：

The development of high-throughput techniques in the past years has increased exponentially the amount of data scientist posses to understand how biological systems work. However, the amount of data generated has also contributed to blur the general picture and hinder the answers to important biological questions. My research focuses on understanding the iron homeostasis in plants. We have generated and interpreted large datasets from proteomics and transcriptomics. Combining data meta-analysis and generating tailored co-expression networks have allowed us to raise important biological questions and focus on small subsets of genes to study them deeper. Mutant analysis, metabolite profiling and protein biochemistry have help us to uncover a previously unknown component of Fe uptake and is helping to unravel the mechanism for iron regulation through the slippery plant iron sensor.
