  SIMS Tutorial: Mathematical Sciences in Genomic Analysis

The Societal Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (SIMS) will conduct a
three week tutorial on the Mathematical Sciences in Genomic Analysis.  The
tutorial will demonstrate how mathematical and computational methods are used 
in genomic analysis - particularly in connection with the Human Genome 
Project.  Tutorial topics will include fragment assembly, informatics, pattern 
analysis of molecular sequences, and DNA and protein structure prediction.  
Background lectures will prepare Tutorial participants for the later
presentations of senior Tutorial Faculty.  This tutorial is intended for 
advanced undergraduates, graduate students and post-doctorals in the 
biological and mathematical sciences.  Applications for this SIMS Tutorial
are encouraged from all interested individuals.  This Tutorial will be held 
July 26 - August 15, 1992, at Rutgers University.  Cosponsor of this
Tutorial is DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science,
at Rutgers.

Serving on the faculty is an outstanding group of scientists who will present 
many of the exciting interdisciplinary research activities central to genomic 
analysis.
