Seminar Series on Gene Assembly in Ciliates
We are running seminar series on computational aspects of gene assembly in ciliates. The purpose of our seminars is to bring people from our group and all others interested in together, to make brainstorming sessions, to learn new techniques, to identify open questions in the area, etc. We will review the work already done in our group and elsewhere and we will try to identify the challenges posed by this research. All interested in are warmly welcome.
