117 – Genetics, Computational Biology and Social Behavior
Rate/Vote |
This episode is a conversation with UT Austin’s Hans Hofmann about a number of related topics in biology. We start with computational biology and bioinformatics (the original topic of the episode). From there we moved into genetics and DNA sequencing as an example for where comptutational biology is used. Finally, we talked about Hans’ own research on biological foundations of social behavior.

My apologies for not posting earlier. I’ve been taking care of other matter. Unfortunately I now have little time to listen to podcasts. None the less, it was another great interview about esoteric stuff.
