Computational Genetics Discussion Group

Course Listings

The Journal Club is a cross-listed 1 hour seminar for credit:

Biol 5496 Seminar in Computational Molecular Biology
CS 7804 Research Seminar in Computational Molecular Biology

Course Masters:
Gary Stormo stormo@genetics.wustl.edu
Jeremy Buhler jbuhler@cse.wustl.edu

Website Contact:
Gary Stormo stormo@genetics.wustl.edu

Regular meetings:

4:45-5:45pm, Monday

Location: Genetics Library (Rm 823) McDonnell Sciences, Medical Campus.

Format of Group

The format will be one 30 minute presentations followed by open discussion.

Students taking it for a grade will be required to present one paper during the semester, attend the other sessions and participate in the discussions.
Other students, post-docs, faculty and others are welcome to attend and participate.
The emphasis will be on recent papers in Comp Bio, but other relevant topics can be included.
Participants can pick the papers to present or get suggestions from the Course Masters.

Spring 2009 Schedule

To sign up for an open date, email me (stormo@genetics.wustl.edu) with a date and (if possible) a paper you wish to present.
