DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lior Pachter\nAbstract: Recent improvements in DNA seq
 uencing technology have led to dramatic increases in throughput and decrea
 ses in cost. This year it has become possible to sequence a human genome f
 or less than $1000\, a decrease in cost of 6 orders of magnitude from the 
 cost of the first human genome sequenced just over a decade ago. Advances 
 in sequencing have been largely based on massive parallelization\, and thi
 s has led to an unexpected application to molecular biology. High-throughp
 ut sequencing can be used as a counting technique when coupled with bioche
 mical assays\, and together the methods can be used to measure various asp
 ects of the molecular biology of the cell. These sequence census\, or *Seq
  assays present both unprecedented opportunities for biology along with fo
 rmidable computational challenge. I will present an introduction to the pr
 oblems and discuss some exciting questions (and solutions) that have emerg
 ed in the field. The talk will be accessible to biologists\, chemists\, st
 atisticians\, computer scientists and mathematicians\, all of whom need to
  contribute to *Seq development.
