SYBN 1.4: Invited Talk

Traffic and Computation in Genetic Regulation — •Kim Sneppen — Nordita/Niels Bohr Institute, Blegdamsvej 17, 2100 Copenhagen Ø

I will discuss physics of biological regulatory mechanism from simple recruitment, to traffic on DNA and to analysis of genetic regulatory networks. The talk will discuss design principles found in regulation of bacterio-phages, using as examples the lambdoid family versus the P2 family of temperate phages. We will use these to empasize the parts of genetic regulative networks that deals with integrated computation, respectively the parts of the regulation that represents distributed signaling. We finally use the phage networks to teach us some basic lessons about how one can compare signaling networks of different organisms.
