[BMI776] Thursday OH cancelled this week

[Colin Dewey]

Hi all,

There is an important computational genomics talk tomorrow that  
conflicts with my scheduled office hours.  I'd like to cancel my OH  
and encourage you to attend the talk.  Please email me to set up an  
appointment if you'd like to meet with me this week.  I apologize for  
any inconvenience.  Below are the talk details.

>> Genomics Seminar Series
>> Thursday, May 1, 2008
>> 1:30-2:30 PM
>> Biotechnology Center Auditorium
>> 425 Henry Mall, Room 1111
>>
>>
>> David Botstein, Ph.D.
>> Princeton University
>> Anthony B. Evnin Professor of Genomics
>> Director, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics
>>
>> Title:  Coordination of Growth Rate, Cell Cycle, Stress Response  
>> and Metabolic Activity in Yeast
>>
>>
>> Current Research in the Botstein Lab
>>
>> The genomic sequences of humans, several eukaryotic model  
>> organisms, and numerous bacteria have opened up new opportunities  
>> and challenges for molecular genetics. Now one can study all the  
>> genes of an organism at once, promising a level of biological  
>> inference at the "system level", beyond that possible from studying  
>> separate, individual genes, gene assemblies or pathways. A major  
>> challenge is the analysis and display of huge volumes of  
>> information in ways that allow biologists to fully interpret them.
>>
>> Research areas: (1) genome-wide studies of gene expression through  
>> the life cycle and experimental evolution of budding yeast  
>> (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), (2) mechanisms by which yeast maintain  
>> metabolic homeostasis in the face of environmental and genetic  
>> perturbations, and (3) quantitative analysis and intuitive display  
>> of genome-scale biological information in the context of genomic  
>> databases.
