Seminar Series
Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 3:00pm
(Love Auditorium – B101 Levine Science Research Center)

George Church, PhD
Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School,
MIT Health Sciences & Technology & CSBi
Director of the Lipper Center for Computational Genetics
MIT-Harvard DOE Genomes to Life Center

"Synthetic Biology and Personal Genome/Transcriptome Sequencing"

Increasingly medicine, epidemiology, forensics, history, ecology,
chemistry, manufacturing, and agriculture benefit from accurate and
inexpensive analysis and synthesis of nucleic acids.  This talk will
explore technological, computational, and societal aspects of the
exponential improvements in these capabilities.  Emphasis will be on
(1)
analysis using polymerase clones ("plones") for RNA quantitation and
comparative genomics and (2) synthesis using
photoprogramable-DNA-chips,error correction technologies, and
homologous
recombination.
