Arbitrary Barbeque

Categories: Event

Didn’t get enough of the BBQ-goodness in our last welcome barbeque a few weeks ago? No worries, for we are hosting the Arbitrary Barbeque this Thursday! Something for everybody - fun for the whole family. As always, you’re invited and you can experience the arbitrariness of it all. Better that it is “arbitrary” than the “midterm” BBQ coming up… soon.

As always, our low, low prices apply - $2 for a burger and 50 cents for your choice of a pop XOR a bag of chips. We undercut everybody.

Talk - Analysis and Design of Nucleic Acid Devices

Categories: Event

SPEAKER: Niles A. Pierce, Applied & Computational Mathematics and Bioengineering California Institute of Technology

ABSTRACT:
DNA and RNA are versatile construction materials. By appropriately designing the sequence of bases in each strand, synthetic nucleic acid systems can be programmed to self-assemble into complex structures that implement dynamic mechanical tasks. Motivated by the challenge of encoding arbitrary mechanical function into nucleic acid sequences, we are developing a suite of computational algorithms for analyzing the underlying free energy landscapes that control the behavior of a system. This talk will focus on new algorithms for predicting the equilibrium properties of an entire test tube of interacting nucleic acid strands. The utility of the approach will be demonstrated by elucidating the empirical behavior of a new class of instrument-free biosensors that are under development in the lab.
