SUMMARY:How social interactions shape the genome. - Jenny Tung\, Duke Univ

DESCRIPTION:Socioecological variation can have strong effects on fitness-r
 elated traits. However\, we know little about the molecular mechanisms tha
 t mediate these effects. Our work addresses this gap using captive rhesus 
 macaques and wild baboons as model systems. In this talk\, I will discuss 
 our recent findings on (i) the cell type and condition-specific gene regul
 atory response to variation in experimentally manipulated social status\; 
 and (ii) the epigenomic signature of variation in resource base. Together\
 , our results highlight the importance of molecular genomic mechanisms in 
 linking social interactions and ecological context to their health and fit
 ness-related consequences.
