Event details
Genetic networks play a relevant role in the regulation of the functions of living cells. One example is the genetic switch, where the genes can be turned on and off, depending on the state of the system. I will introduce how genetic networks behave in general, and then I will talk about the simulations and analytical techniques used to study a simple example.
About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
