Hi all,

Christos Ouzounis is giving an informal seminar this Friday, detailed in the subject line of this email. He has been a major contributor to many aspects of the field and was a founding officer of the International Society for Computational Biology.

One of his early efforts was the development of clustering algorithms for biological networks, including creation of TRIBE-MCL, an approach used for rapid and accurate clustering of protein sequences into families. The method relies on the Markov cluster (MCL) algorithm for the assignment of proteins into families based on precomputed sequence similarity information (PMID: 11917018).

The title of Friday's talk is "Comparative Genomics 2.0: From reading to writing"
