Dr. Gerald Rubin, vice president and director of the Janelia Farm Research Campus at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and professor of genetics at the University of California, Berkeley, will give a seminar entitled "Computational and Experimental Approaches for Interpreting the Drosophila Genome Sequence" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, in Pelton Auditorium.

The seminar is part of the New Perspectives in Science series sponsored by the Associate Program Heads Committee.

Rubin, who helped to lead the fruit fly genome-sequencing project, and colleagues are developing the biological and computer-based tools needed to analyze and display the vast amount of information being derived from the sequencing of this genome.

Rubin, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, has won the American Chemical Society Eli Lily Award in biological chemistry.
