Transcript
Office of Research & Sponsored Programs Faculty / Academic Staff FORUM Fall 2012 Series Mathematical Tools for Understanding Genome Rearrangements presented by Manda Riehl Mathematics Wednesday September 19, 2012 12:10 - 12:50 p.m. *CETL (OL 1142)* The diversity of life is a direct result of inaccuracy in DNA replication. At some point in the past, humans and mice had a common ancestor, and many "mistakes" later, we have two apparently very different species. At the level of DNA, the evolutionary distance between organisms can be estimated by calculating the degree of disorder between the genes in different genomes. I will discuss a few of the ways that mathematicians have approached the problem of finding out how "different" different genomes are, and I will also describe a new model for mutations that I am researching that was developed for understanding mutations that cause human diseases. Feel free to bring your own lunch.
