OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The human genome is now available to all, via publicly available websites, and is annotated with a vast amount of data showing the many different molecules produced from it in different human tissues. The widespread availability of all of this information can give the impression that we are confident about which bits of the genome encode functional products. In this presentation, I will show that this confidence is often misplaced and that even well-studied genes likely still have many secrets to reveal using examples from my lab’s research. I will argue that this information is essential if we are to understand genomic findings in psychiatry and to turn this information into therapeutic advances.
