SUMMARY:Faculty seminar - Prof. Oliver Hobert 13.1.2025 [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location: Faculty Of Biology Auditorium/ZOOM:https://technion.z
 oom.us/j/91374645319   Prof. Oliver Hobert\n Affiliation: Department of Bi
 ological Sciences\, Columbia University.  \n Host:Dr. Shainer Inbal\n Dear
  all\,\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nOn January 13th the faculty seminar will be given by 
 Prof. Oliver Hobert from the Department of Biological Sciences\, Columbia 
 University.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nPlace and time: Biology auditorium\, Monday 13/1
 /2025 at 13:00.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nTitle: Homeobox genes and the specification 
 of cell types in the brain\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe enormous diversi
 ty of cell types in any animal model system is defined by neuron type-spec
 ific gene batteries that endow distinct cells with distinct anatomical and
  functional properties. I will show that the diversity of neuronal cell ty
 pes in the nematode C. elegans can be reduced to a simpler descriptor\, t
 he combinatorial expression of a specific class of transcription factors\,
  encoded by homeobox genes. I propose that the preponderance of homeobox g
 enes in neuronal identity control reflects an evolutionary trajectory in w
 hich an ancestral neuron type was specified by an ancestral homeobox genes
  and that this functional linkage then duplicated and diversified to gener
 ate distinct cell types in an evolving nervous system.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nHober
