Deborah Joseph(UW-Madison): Locating Nested Repeats in DNA Sequences

As humans we find it fairly easy to spot complicated patterns, but we find it much harder to develop algorithms to find these same patterns. In this talk, I will show some examples of patterns that are easy to detect, and some that are not so easy. We will talk about algorithmic approaches for the more complicated examples.
