DESCRIPTION:Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the 
 human genome. Much of the remaining non-coding DNA is of uncertain signifi
 cance\, but at least a part of it regulates where and when genes will be e
 xpressed. Deciphering this regulatory code is challenging but also crucial
  for understanding how hundreds of cell types are generated from the same 
 genome during development\, how they change their function during evolutio
 n\, and how we can harness these processes to engineer better cellular the
 rapies. In my talk\, I will draw examples from my own research to illustra
 te how recent advances in experimental methodology and machine learning ar
 e revolutionising our ability to decode the regulatory genome.\n
