DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eric Tannier\, INRIA Grenoble - IC Faculty candidate\nAbst
 ract : "Chromosomes\, these structures formerly considered as nearly intan
 gible\, are in reality subject to permanent rearrangements\, the molecule 
 of heredity is sewed together\, modified\, cut\, lengthened\, shortened\, 
 reversed"\, François Jacob used to say. These rearrangements are involved
  in cancer development\, origin of new species\, sex chromosomes different
 iation\, and can provide phylogenetic informations. \nI will present recen
 t progresses in the design of good models of structural evolution of genom
 es\, and the computational problems they raise.\n\nBiography : Eric Tannie
 r is a researcher at the INRIA in France. He obtained a Ph-D in discrete m
 athematics at the University of Grenoble in 2002\, and now works in the Bi
 ometry and Evolutionary Biology Lab of the University of Lyon. He's doing 
 computational biology and comparative genomics\, building methods to under
 stand the evolution of genomes\, their content\, organization and function
 ning.
