A taste of Computational Biology: constrained sequence alignment
Graduate seminar
Lecturer : Tamar Pinhas
Affiliation : BGU
Location : 202/37
Host : Graduate Seminar
This talk attempts to glimpse into the field of Computational Biology, specifically through the topic of constrained sequence alignment and its applications.
Introducing constraints into alignment processes facilitates improved speed and allows for fine-tuning of the alignment results.
Constraints are usually a formulation of a priory knowledge regarding the expected alignment result and often originate from biological studies.
We survey different types of constraints, the central approaches to constrained sequence alignment and discuss several algorithms and their applications.
