SUMMARY:Frontiers of Science: DNA sequence rearrangements in evolution and 
 disease
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Martin Frith\, National Institute of Advanced Industrial 
 Science and Technology AIST\, Tokyo\, Japan\n\nHost: Sofia Khan (sofia.kha
 n@utu.fi)\n\nGraduate students and postdocs: If you would like to meet Pro
 fessor Frith over a lunch after the seminar\, please contact biocityturku@
 btk.fi\n\nProfessor Martin Frith got his PhD from the Boston University in
  2004. He did his postdoctoral training at the University of Queensland (B
 risbane\, Australia) and at the RIKEN (Tokyo\, Japan) and further continue
 d his research at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science an
 d Technology (AIST) (Tokyo\, Japan). He was appointed as a professor at th
 e Department of Computational Biology and Medical Sciences in University o
 f Tokyo. Dr Frith's aim is to decipher the functional and historical infor
 mation in genome sequences using statistical models and computational meth
 ods in close collaboration with experimental groups. Dr Frith has publishe
 d multiple methods that are widely used in various fields from clinical an
 d biomedical applications to microbial studies. His recent research has br
 ought novel insights on rearrangements in human DNA.\n\nSelected publicati
