Computational Molecular Biology and Genomics Project Presentations


[Format] [2003 presentations] [Schedule]


The last two days of class will be devoted to presentations of the project topics. The topics you have selected cover a range of emerging problems in computational genomics. The goal is to give an overview of new research in genomics to the rest of the class.

Survey talks
  • Duration: 10 minutes plus 2 minutes for questions.
  • Seven to ten slides covering
    • A statement of the problem to be solved
    • Description of data that drives the problem (if applicable)
    • Why the problem is important
    • Why the problem is challenging
    • Current state of the art; open problems. You will not have time to discuss algorithms in detail.
Computational project talks
  • All group members must speak
  • Duration for groups of two: 15 minutes plus 2 minutes for questions. For groups of three: 20 minutes plus 2 minutes for questions.
  • Ten to fifteen slides covering
    • A statement of the problem to be solved
    • Background and signficance
    • Data and methods
    • Results
    • Summary: what you learned, problems encountered, future work

      You may find it useful to look at the slides from the 2003 presentations
