2007
Spring 2007 lab meetings are held on alternate Wednesdays, from 12-1:30pm, in 381 Stanley Hall.
Each lab meeting will focus on a particular topic in bioinformatics algorithms or software.
One goal of this format is to work out ideas for new projects.
Prior to the meeting, one or two related papers will be assigned to each group member.
Each person will present a quick summary of their assigned paper(s) and will then lead a short discussion of the work.
These paper summaries will lead into an ad hoc summary of the state of the field in this area
& a discussion of open questions and possible future projects.
The style is very informal; no powerpoint presentations or any of that rubbish;
just "whiteboards, banter and the occasional URL". [tm]
To give people time to read & prepare I suggest we meet every 2-4 weeks.
When we're not holding a formal lab meeting we will try to meet at the same time/place
for some kind of mini-jamboree, Hackathon (Wikipedia) or other collective activity,
or just to chat.
Guests are always welcome.
Please note that dates marked "provisional" are subject to change!
Future meeting dates...
Suggested future topics:
Some other ideas we might consider covering
Population genetics is of course a huge beast of a topic but a few semi-manageable entry points might include
- Heuristic alignment with recombination
For reference, presentation titles & other notes for previous lab meetings are preserved below.
Fall 2006:
Possible future speakers to invite for Fall 2006 - Spring 2007:
Ideas for future lab meetings
- Tree-adjoining grammars
- Langevin equations and Markov models for ion channels
