Date: 13 May 2008 (Tuesday)
Time: 2:30am - 5:30pm
Venue: Room 232, Lady Shaw Building, CUHK

Abstract: This talk includes two parts of contents. In the first part, we talk about the prediction methods in bioinformatics such as gene prediction methods, DNA promoter analysis characterization and prediction, predicting features of individual residues, predicting function, protein structure prediction, protein structure evaluation, protein structure comparison and protein secondary structure prediction. In the second part, we talk about the widely used sequence alignment algorithms. This part includes global versus local sequence alignments, dot-plots, score matrices, multiple alignment, structural and evolutionary alignment,etc
