    A fundamental biological challenge is to understand how the linear information in an organism's genome is processed to produce the resulting behavior or phenotype. Our research aims to understand these processes and develop a coherent picture of the mechanistic basis (wiring

The talk will detail our current progress and provide an overview of the methodologies being pursued by our group to achieve the above goals, recent basic science discoveries, successful applications in the context of drug discovery and nanotechnology, as well as potential applications in astrobiology.

    Participation Instructions

    With a Polycom....RSVP to Marco Boldt (Marco.Boldt@nasa.gov) and connect to WebEx as instructed below. If you need Polycom help during the live event, message Marco Boldt in WebEx.

    Without a Polycom...There are two ways to participate:

    1) You can listen to the seminar on the telephone while viewing the slides in WebEx (see WebEx instructions above). The NASA conference phone number will be displayed when joining the WebEx meeting.

    2) You can watch the Realplayer webcast at: http://vanseg-1.arc.nasa.gov/2007/AB071106-01.ram and view the slides in WebEx (see WebEx instructions above) There is a 30 second delay for the webcast, so you will need to control the slides manually using the arrow buttons in WebEx. Questions for the speaker can be posted in the WebEx chat area to be answered at the end of the talk. Do not try to watch the Realplayer webcast at the same time as the Polycom or the phone.
