Abstract :
In this talk, I will discuss the possibility that a potentially significant portion of cellular process regulation may be mediated by genomic sequences that need not be conserved across organisms. Evidence in support of this viewpoint comes from computational analyses as well as experimental work by us and by others. The ramifications of such findings for the onset and progression of disease will also be examined.
