From Fish to Polynomials The amount and types of data available to biologists is booming. In response, mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists are collaborating with biologists to develop novel techniques for data analysis. In this talk I will describe a problem from fish evolutionary genetics research and discuss how polynomial ring theory can be used to study the data and suggest solutions to a difficult problem. |
