SUMMARY:  Hunting for viral packaging signals  - Dr Julia Gog (University 
 of Cambridge)

DESCRIPTION:Influenza has a genome split into several segments\, and this 
 complicates virus particle assembly as each particle must have one of each
  of the segments. This means that each of the RNA segments must contain so
 me\nsignal\, and that this signal ought to be fairly conserved. Is this en
 ough to go and hunt them down using mathematics? The answer turns out to b
 e yes. However\, this required some creativity in algorithm design\,drawin
 g inspiration from a number of apparently unrelated problems. This hack se
 ems to work\, but leaves some interesting mathematical problems.\n\nThis t
 alk is also about the research dynamics itself\, and the weird twists and 
 turns that it takes.
