Potential series of talk of interest for bioinformaticians
By casshyr on April 23, 2015
In July, Eric Tannier (see bio information at the end of the email),
from INRIA and LBBE in Lyon will visit SFU for a month, funded by PIMS,
and has planned a series of 4 lectures on models and algorithms for
evolutionary genomics. Below are the title and topics of these talks.
The first one will be somewhat introductory, while the three other ones
will present state-of-the art methods and models, and will be quite
mathematical/computational.
- How we learned that chromosomes are linear arrangements on genes
An introductory and historical on the early works that lead to the
model of genomes
as sets of linear arrangement of genes.
- How we learned to forget it
Tractable and intractable models of genome rearrangements.
- Multiscale Integrated Paleogenomics
Models for the evolution of genome sequence, gene content, gene order
- Lateral Gene Transfers, from a phylogenetic nightmare to a
phylogenetic marker.
The title says it all.
I am trying to optimize the organization, in terms of location and
format (weekly talks or concentrated talks) among others.
[...]
Do-you know who at UBC might be a potential audience interested in such
topics? Eric is a rising star in the field of genome rearrangements and
phylogenomics, see his selection of publications below.
Thank you
