Abstract
In this talk, I shall discuss the gene concept in view of a
relation between coding structure and genetic function that is realized
in the expression process by the combinatorial interaction between
oligomotifs at DNA, pre-mRNA and RNA level and specific DNA or RNA
binding proteins. This allows for the quantification of various types
of information, including sequence and ensemble information, or product
and process information. The talk is based on joint work with Klaus
Scherrer.
Biographical Information
After his studies in mathematics, physics,
economics and philosophy Prof. Jürgen Jost got his doctoral degree in
1980 at the University of Bonn and his habilitation in mathematics in
1984.
He became a full professor at the Ruhr-University Bochum, where he
stayed until 1996. Since that time he is director and scientific member
at the Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig,
where his research is focused on new problems on the border between
mathematics and sciences, in particular, in the fields of geometry and
analysis.
Professor Jost received the Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz-Preis for his
scientific contributions in 1993 and is a honorary professor at the
University of Leipzig since 1998.
His research interests include amongst others
- complex dynamical systems
- general systems theory
- mathematical models of cognitive processes and neural
networks
- conceptual and mathematical questions of biology
- mathematics and theoretical physics
