Two Uses for Understanding the Quantitative and Structural Nature of Recombination
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Dan Gusfield, UC Davis |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, Jan 19 2012, 11:00AM |
In the afternoon Discrete Math lecture, I will present mathematical results on the combinatorial structure of Ancestral Recombination Graphs (ARGs). In this morning lecture, I want to motivate interest in recombination and ARGs by discussing two current techniques in genetics and genomics where recombination is key to the logic of the methods. The morning lecture will contain *no* mathematics - just illustrations motivating the study of recombination, and a leisurely introduction to recombination and ARGs.
