Math 5610: Computational Biology

Student Presentations

Each student in Math 5610 is required to give a 5 minute presentation on some topic related to Computational Biology.  The purpose of your presentation is to learn at least one aspect of Computational Biology in greater depth than will be covered in class. A second purpose is to nurture your oral communication skills.

Visual Aids:  You may either use overhead transparencies or powerpoint or pdf slides.  If you use powerpoint or pdf, you must email your presentation in advance so that I can load it on my computer.

Dates:  Talks will be scheduled April 19--May 5.  Please email me your preferred date.  I will schedule these on a first come first served basis, with at most 4 student talks in any class period. 

Topics:  Your topic for this presentation should be different than your term project.  Here some suggested topics.
Youre presentation should describe the topic and how it relates to computational biology.  Please tell me as soon as possible what topic you intend to present.

  1. Signal transduction
  2. Gene Expression array technology
  3. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
  4. Protein fingerprinting
  5. Phylogenetic footprinting
  6. Stoichiometry
  7. Alternative splicing
  8. Expressed sequence tags
  9. Haplotypes
