A Mathbiology and Statistics seminar, titled "A Mathematical Habitat for Analyzing Biological Sequences," will be held on March 28, 2011, from 3-4 p.m. in ILB 410 on the University of South Alabama's main campus.
The seminar will be co-presented by Dr. Can Akkoç with the USA Department of Mathematics and Statistics and Tom Johnsten with the USA School of Computer and Information Sciences.
This talk presents some results of an ongoing project focused on the development of a simple mathematical model to map biological sequences into a set of abstract mathematical spaces. In particular, the talk focuses on the development of a mathematical habitat for comparing, classifying, and analyzing various features of biological sequences, both at the ‘micro’ and ‘macro’ level.
The talk also briefly presents results of conducted experiments, directions for future work, and opportunities for collaboration with scholars from the life sciences.
