The title and abstract are below. Also, there are some spots for students to go out for lunch with him on Nov 7 at 11:30 am. **** ** ** Best,**** Amy**** ** ** Title: The dynamics of genomic sequence evolution in microbial populations Abstract: **** I will discuss theoretical and experimental approaches to the evolutionary dynamics and population genetics of natural selection in large populations. In these populations, many mutations are often present simultaneously, and because recombination is limited, selection cannot act on them all independently. Rather, it can only affect whole combinations of mutations linked together on the same chromosome. Methods common in theoretical population genetics have been of limited utility in analyzing this coupling between the fates of different mutations. In the past few years it has become increasingly clear that this is a crucial gap in our understanding, as sequence data has begun to show that selection appears to act pervasively on many linked sites in a wide range of populations, including viruses, microbes, *Drosophila*, and humans. I will describe approaches that combine analytical tools drawn from statistical physics and dynamical systems with traditional methods in theoretical population genetics to address this problem, and describe how experiments in budding yeast can help us directly observe these evolutionary dynamics.**** ** ** -- Amy I.

Dear Group, See the forwarded message below from Nicole Minotti from the Jacobsen Group. Her email is minotti(a)chemistry.harvard.edu. Anna B.

I have a brand new one, still not even removed from its box, which I want to sell because I realized after I bought it that it really goes beyond my needs in terms of size for a home monitor. My appt is tiny, and this is a little too large for my needs and space at home. I bought it several months ago, and it took me a while to accept the reality that I really shouldn’t keep it.**** ** ** However, it’s a gorgeous, very high quality, very slim and light profile monitor which is ranked among the top 3 of its class in terms of quality and price. In researching monitors, I read a lot of reviews on respected tech sites and many consumer reviews, and this was consistently ranked very high on all metrics, especially for image clarity/sharpness, resolution, and color reproduction.**** ** ** Here is a review with pics:**** ** ** http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176195&nm_mc=KNC-G… **** ** ** ** ** If you are, or if you know of someone who might be interested, I have it here in my office closet in CCB, and am happy to bring it by for hands-on view and review.**** ** ** Thanks!**** Nicole Minotti**** Jacobsen Lab**** CCB**** ** ** ** **

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] colloidal atoms

by Adrian Jinich

In case anyone's interested, this paper just came out and it describes something similar to what Chad Mirkin talked about yesterday (but here they build colloidal molecules) http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v491/n7422/full/nature11564.html

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] group meeting tomorrow

by Ryan Babbush

Hi Everyone, Tomorrow Jarrod will be giving group meet at the usual time (2:30) and place (Division Room). A title and abstract is included below. Title: QPU's and a Novel Perspective on Quantum Computation for Chemistry Abstract: If we are not terribly inconvenienced by the fire alarm that is scheduled to occur during this talk, courtesy of Harvard Chemistry, I will introduce basic ideas from the study of electronic structure in quantum chemistry and some of the methods used there. I will then introduce a new integrated quantum-classical architecture that can be used to help solve these problems with the assistance of quantum resources. This method overcomes certain technical difficulties associated with coherence time requirements of "optimal" algorithms such as Quantum Phase Estimation(QPE). Moreover, in the long term, this method can be used to bolster the success probability of QPE making it useful today and in the future. -- Ryan Babbush | PhD Student in Chemistry (949) 331-3943 | babbush(a)fas.harvard.edu Harvard University | Aspuru-Guzik Research Group 12 Oxford Street, Box 400 | Cambridge, MA 02138 _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list
