Computational aspects of ciliate gene descrambling. University of Colorado at Boulder, 2002 M. Daley, B. Devereux. Gamow codes and frameshift codes, Workshop on Codes and Related Structures 2000 M. Daley. Towards a Model of Gene Expression, The First Canadian Working Conference on Computational Biology, 2000   Current Software Projects The G-complex suite - a set of tools for investigating the gene-scrambling process in ciliates. Includes a tool for generating a complexity measurement for arbitrary ciliate genes (given a mac/mic pair as input). The Semigroup Project - applying new theoretical results in semigroup theory to characterize all finite semigroups of a given order. The H programming language - A weakly typed, stack-based programming language (reminiscent of Forth, with some twists) designed specifically for Genetic Programming. Interpreter-based with dynamic compilation of user defined functions to native machine code. PAL (Poser Animation Language) - A procedural animation language for Curious Labs' Poser figure animation package. (obsoleted by Poser Pro Pack's addition of Python scripting).     Professional Affiliations Association for Computing Machinary European Association for Theoretical Computer Science     A link to some other stuff I do How to get in touch with me Email: daley@csd.uwo.ca Phone: 661-2111 x.86904 Or drop by my office in the basement of Middlesex College, MC27D.   Last updated 6 April 2002
