SUMMARY:Mitochondrial Variability
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \n\nAbstract: \nIn this talk I'll discuss our work on 
 mitochondrial variability. Mitochondria serve as power stations for the ce
 ll and a conventional view has treated them as isolated organelles. In fac
 t they are very dynamic: networking\, fissioning\, fusing\, being consumed
  and being generated. We recently found a surprising experimental connecti
 on between a marked variability in the average rate of transcription of ce
 lls in a population and a marked variability in their mitochondrial conten
 t. I'll discuss our mathematical and computational attempts to summarize t
 his data. They suggest the existence of a partly-heritable factor which is
  connected to cell-to-cell variability. I'll then move on to discussing ho
 w the genetic content of mitochondria might vary through time and make con
 nections with disease.\n \n
