The abstract submission deadline is University of Colorado, Denver The Sanger experimental method was Friday, February 24, 2012. Colorado School of Mines invented in 1975 and by 2001 Colorado State University refinements of that methods allowed sequencing of the human genome. Today an exciting new generation of http://amath.colorado.edu/cmsms/index.php sequencing technologies are rapidly ?page=conference increasing the speed of DNA sequencing. This lecture will consider the mathematical and computational challenges of sequencing DNA.
