Title: Investigations of Coding Structure in DNA

Date: September 5, 2003

Time: 3:00 pm

Location: GCATT Room 325

Abstract: We have all heard the term "cracking the genomic code", but is DNA a code
in the information theoretic sense? This presentation includes an overview of DNA
analysis and examines proposed methods to detect linear coding redundancy.

Biography:
Gail Rosen received her BSEE in 1999 and her MSEE in 2002 from the Georgia
Institute of Technology. She has worked in the telecommunications field at GTRI
and Scientific-Atlanta and in audio signal processing at AT&T Research Laboratories.
Her thesis topic is chemotaxis-inspired chemical localization and
tracking. In the 2003-2004 school year, she is a Student Teacher Enhancement
Partnership(STEP) Fellow (sponsored by NSF and GT's Center for the
Enhancement of Teaching and Learning) and is augmenting math and science
education at Tri-Cities High School.
