The symposium intents to focus on complex systems arising in a variety of settings in physics and biology. In particular, applications of the concepts of physics to biological sciences will be the major theme of this meeting.
Selected Topics:...
The Rolland-Lagan lab at the University of Ottawa is specializing in computational and developmental biology. We use a combination of experimental work, microscopy, image analysis and computer simulations to explore developmental mechanisms in two...

During recombination, the precise breakage of each strand, exchange between the strands, and sealing of the resulting recombined molecules happens. The “chromosomal breakpoints” refers to these places where they break.
