Hello everyone,
Our second talk of the ANZIAM* local seminar series will be held via Zoom on
Thursday 19 May at 3:00pm. Joshua Stevenson, PhD student of Jeremy Sumner and Venta Terauds, is an invited speaker to the 2022 Student Symposium in Combinatorics and has kindly offered to present his talk to us. His title and abstract can be
found below.
Title: Algebraic Models of Circular Genome Rearrangement
Abstract: Phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relationships between present-day organisms. Evolution can occur via a number of mechanisms, and one such mechanism is the application of large-scale genome rearrangement events,
in which sections of the genome are broken apart and reattached in a different order or orientation. By considering the possible combinations of rearrangements that could convert one genome into another, we can identify how closely related the organisms are.
I will give an overview of genome rearrangement modelling as an applied combinatorial problem, and then present our algebraic framework for modelling genomes. I will discuss some of my recent work in characterising `biologically reasonable' rearrangements
and determining how many of these there are for a given number of regions.
*ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics) is a division of the Australian Mathematical Society
As usual, please get in touch if you would like to present in our seminar series.
Kind regards,
Courtney
