Workshop on Random Walks in Biological Physics with Focus on DNA and chromosome structure

Biological Physics of DNA, Chromosomes and Nuclei (John F. Marko)

Not scheduled

1h 15m

1F Auditorium (Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica)

Colloquium

Speaker

Prof. John F. Mark Marko (Northwestern University)

Description

I will present our current understanding of the role of polymer physics and statistical mechanics in illuminating chromosome dynamics in living cells, based on our understanding of DNA organization driven by enzymes studied in single-molecule nanomechanics experiments, as well as experiments done on living cells.
