>  Probabilistic graphical models of multiple protein sequence alignment
>
> Abstract:
>
> This talk will present the modeling of multiple protein sequence alignment
> (MSA) by Markov Random Fields (MRF) and its applications to homology
> detection, evolutionary coupling analysis and protein folding. In
> particular, this talk will cover 1) modeling a set of related protein
> families (each represented as an MSA) by group graphical lasso and its
> application to joint evolutionary coupling analysis and protein contact
> prediction; and 2) aligning two MSAs by aligning their respective MRFs and
> its application to homology detection and fold recognition.

> present their research.  The lectures are intended both for students
> seeking research topics and adviser, and for the general TTIC and
> University of Chicago communities interested in hearing what their
> colleagues are up to.
