Modern advances in technology have led to the generation of ever-increasing amounts of quantitative data from biological systems, ranging from gene-expression snapshots of cell populations in a tissue to geometric arrangements of atoms within a molecule. Stephen Zhang (Uni Melb / MACSYS)

Recent advances in technologies for genome sequencing have enabled the generation of valuable data to study changes in genome structural organisation that occur during evolution. Eslam Ibrahim Amin, (Bioinformatician at ABC, JCSMR)

Our understanding of how proteins evolve over time and across fitness landscapes of variable ruggedness remains incomplete.

Speaking this week will be Xia Hua from the Mathematical Sciences Institute, here at ANU!
