These are the slides for some of the talks I have given recently; some are talks
for papers at conferences and some are colloquia given here and abroad.
-
Talk given at the 2005
Gordon Conference on Structural, Functional, and Evolutionary Genomics,
June 21, Bates College (ME), on handling scale and complexity in phylogenetic
reconstruction and comparative genomics -- a high-level survey,
in PDF form.
-
Talk given at the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology (Lausanne), on March 14, 2005, on how to scale up approaches
to phylogenetic reconstruction and how to handle whole-genome order and content
data, for a CS audience, in PDF form.
-
Talk given in the Penn
Bioinformatics Forum series in mid-February
at the U. of Pennsylvania on phylogeny reconstruction from gene-content
and gene-order data, in
PDF form.
-
Keynote address given at the 7th Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and
Experiments
ALENEX'05 in late
January 2005 on the algorithmic challenges from the Tree of Life in
PDF form.
-
Talk given at the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology (Lausanne), on Nov. 8, 2004, on the computational challenges
posed by the reconstruction of the Tree of Life,
in PDF form.
-
Talk at the annual meeting of the
Canadian Institute
for Advanced Research, Evolutionary Biology section, given October 16,
2004, on the state of the art in phylogenetic reconstruction based on
gene-order and gene-content data, in PDF form.
-
Talk at UC Berkeley, CS department, given February 6, 2004, on the
algorithmic challenges in the CIPRES
project, in PDF form.
-
Tutorial on computational methods for the reconstruction of network evolution
(evolution in the presence of hybridization or horizontal gene transfer)
given January 6, 2004 at the 8th Pacific
Symposium on Biocomputing; available as PDF
slides (not printable: light on dark background) or in printable form as a
Postscript file (multiple slides per print page).
The tutorial had 2.5 parts: a first part on the biology, a short middle part
with examples of reconstructions, and a last part given above; to get all
parts, go to my lab's web page.
-
Talk at the workshop on Mathematics
of Evolution and Phylogeny
at the Institut Poincaré in Paris, given June 18, 2003.
The talk itself (dark background, transitions, for projection only)
in a PDF file and a printable version thereof
(white background, no transitions) in a
Postscript file.
-
Talk at the Second Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics in Rome, Italy,
on inversion medians in phylogenetic reconstruction in mid-September, in
Postscript form.
-
Department colloquium of Oct. 4, 2001, on recent advances in gene-order
phylogeny reconstruction, in PDF form.
-
Series of invited lectures at the Rome School on Algorithm Engineering
(mid-September 2001),
Lecture 1, Lecture 2,
and Lecture 3 (all PDF)
-
Talk at the First Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics in Arhus, Denmark,
on inversion medians in late August 2001, in
Postscript form.
