In this talk we discuss the paper "Mathematical model for the distribution of DNA replication origins" by Alessandro de Moura and Jens Karschau, Physical Review E, 2024. Abstract  DNAreplication in yeast and in many other organisms starts from well-defined locations on the DNA known as replication origins. The spatial distribution of these origins in the genome is particularly …

In this talk, we discuss the paper, “A frequency-amplitude coordinator and its optimal energy consumption for biological oscillators”, by Bo-Wei Qin et. al., Nature Communications, 2021. Zoom : https://us06web.zoom.us/j/99567630778?pwd=N2ZrUWtqZzJ0YURVTzlZT3JJR3FUQT09 Abstract  Biorhythm including neuron firing and protein-mRNA interaction are fundamental activities with diffusive effect. Their well-balanced spatiotemporal dynamics are beneficial for healthy sustainability. Therefore, calibrating both anomalous …

In this talk, we discuss the paper : "Noise robustness and metabolic load determine the principles of central dogma regulation" by Teresa W. Lo et al, Sci. Adv, https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.ado3095. Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/99567630778?pwd=N2ZrUWtqZzJ0YURVTzlZT3JJR3FUQT09 Abstract The processes of gene expression are inherently stochastic, even for essential genes required for growth. How does the cell maximize fitness in light …

In this talk, we discuss the paper : "Derivation and simulation of a computational model of active cell populations: How overlap avoidance, deformability, cell-cell junctions and cytoskeletal forces affect alignment" by Leech et al, nature biotechnology, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011879. Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/99567630778?pwd=N2ZrUWtqZzJ0YURVTzlZT3JJR3FUQT09 Abstract Collective alignment of cell populations is a commonly observed phenomena in biology. An important example …
