 CSE 590CB seminars
    This is a not-for-credit-but-for-fun series of informal meetings to discuss recent work in computational biology, both our own and others' from recent publications. A number of us also go to the Ave. for lunch together before the meetings (info below). Relevant announcements will be sent through the cse590cb e-mail list (link to past message archive at left). To be added to or dropped from this list, e-mail your request to cse590cb-request@cs.

schedule

  • meetings: Tuesdays, 2:00-3:00 pm, Sieg 322
    *We will meet in Johnson 123 on 14 Aug, since 322 is otherwise reserved.
date discussion leader topic
26 Jun Zasha Weinberg Decoding pooled experiment results with errors using Gibbs sampling: Experiences with large-scale yeast 2-hybrid system screens
  • related paper: E. Knill, A. Schliep, D.C. Torney, "Interpretation of Pooling Experiments Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method", J. Comp. Bio., vol 3 (#3) 1996, pp. 395-406
  • technical report similar to above paper (ResearchIndex)
03 Jul Chris Saunders Model-based clustering of gene expression array data
10 Jul Jochen Jaeger Statistical soundness and validity of gene scoring and classification methods

17 Jul Saurabh Sinha Learning "Found" Classes - A strategy for multiway classification of genes based on promoter region analysis. Joint work with Mathieu Blanchette and Rimli Sengupta.
24 Jul no meeting no meeting
31 Jul Ira Kalet "What I saw in Copenhagen this summer" (ISMB review)
07 Aug Dan Grossman "What [research] I did this summer"
  • Determining candidate genes for the response to carotid artery ligation in rats: normalization w/ noisy data
  • Determining regulatory elements in yeast using sequence and expression data (previously discussed during 590CB in spring quarter). See Bussemaker et. al's website or more information.
  • Finding potentially important single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by mining several biological databases. See first few paragraphs of the NCBI dbSNP FAQ for more information.
14 Aug Tim Robertson

"Application of ab initio protein structure prediction to gene annotation, i.e., ab initio protein structural genomics"

note: This meeting will not be in Sieg 322. We will be meeting in Johnson 123 instead.

lunches

  • Tuesdays, 12:30 pm, Sieg Hall, near the HUB lawn entrance
Don't go to CB hungry...come to lunch with us first. We'll meet at Sieg, then walk over to the Ave. and deal with the always difficult problem of deciding where to eat. Don't be late, or you'll miss the CB lunch train!
