Presentations
I've given a few talks at the UPR, here are the slides and the
sources for most of them. All these documents may be freely
distributed. Proper attribution is appreciated if you use them.
- A Survey of Bioinformatics. Given May 8, 1997 at the
UPR-RCM. (PostScript slides, LaTeX source)
- "Good" Markers and "True" Maps: Combinatorial Algorithms
for Genetic and Radiation Hybrid Mapping. Given August 1997 at the
Department of Biology of the UPR-RRP. (PostScript, LaTeX)
- sambatalk: How to get linux to
act as a file and print server to Windows and Macs. Given September
15, 1997 to Dr Isidore Brodsky's Operating Systems class at the UPR-RRP.
- linux: a brief
introduction to the linux way of doing things. Given to the UPR-RRP
Computer Science undergraduate students on September 8, 2000. MagicPoint
source here.
- Python: my favorite
programming language. Presented at the first Linux-PR
Installfest, September 17, 2000. MagicPoint slide sources here.
- Bioinformatics at
the HPCf an introduction to the bioinformatics services at the
HPCf, and our plans for the future. Presented January 31, 2001, at the
Institute of
Neurobiology, and again at the UPR-RCM for Dr. Carmen Cadilla's
genetics course. The slides.sh sources are here.
- Clustering Microarray
Expression Data: a survey, with some examples, of clustering
techniques for microarray expression data. Presented March 15, 2001,
at the UPR-RRP for Dr. Sandra
Peña's Functional Genomics course. (source)
- Inferring Gene
Regulation Networks From Microarray Expression Data: a survey of
gene regulatory network inference techniques for microarray expression
data. Presented March 29, 2001, at UPR-RRP for Dr. Sandra Peña's
Functional Genomics course.

- Ethical issues in
bioinformatics: a list of recent cases that illustrate the ethical
issues confronting bioinformatics. These cases are taken from the bioinformatics.org news
items. Presented May 8, 2001 as part of the UPR-RCM bioethics course
held by Dr. Emma Fernandez.
- Sequence analysis
using seqweb at the HPCf: a workshop on the GCG web interface
seqweb. Presented November 1, 2001 at the HPCf, and again November 15,
2001 at UPR-RUM.
(source)
- Bootstrapping into
Bioinformatics: the outline of a 5 week crash course on
bioinformatics being developed for Dr. Fernando Gonzalez, UPR-RRP.
- Sequence Analysis
Using SeqWeb at the High Performance Computing Facility a seminar
illustrating the use of seqweb and GCG to perform simple sequence
analysis tasks. Presented Tuesday, March 21, 2002 at the UPR-RCM,
sponsored by the RCMI program.
- The Reverse Engineering Problem in Genetic Networks. Oscar Moreno
(UPR-Río Piedras) Maria Alicia Aviño (UPR- Cayey) Dorothy Bollman
(UPR- Mayaguez) Humberto Ortiz (UPR HPCf), Presented at the BRIN-PR
1st Annual Symposium Biotechnology and Modern Medicine, October 11,
2002 San Juan Puerto Rico.
- Finite Fields and
Microarrays. (175 KB PDF file) Presented January 29, 2003 at the
HPCf and UPR-RUM, in fulfillment of the doctoral seminar. The latex source for the talk.
- Genes
for Geeks: an introduction to molecular biology for computer
scientists (138 KB PDF file). Given as part of Dr. Janwa's
Introduction to Information Theory and Bioinformatics course, February
11, 2003, UPR-RRP. Revised September 7, 2005 for Dr. Oscar Moreno's Bioinformatics course UPR-RRP. The latex source for the talk.
- A
Survey of Bioinformatics: a look at some problems in
bioinformatics I find intereseting (835 KB PDF file, updated from the
1997 talk). Given as part of Dr. Janwa's Introduction to Information
Theory and Bioinformatics course, February 18, 2003, UPR-RRP. Many of
the source files for the illustrations were lost, Maria Mergal was
kind enough to scan some old transparencies, and those are included in
the PDF file. The latex
source for the talk.
- Linux at the
HPCf: given Monday, June 9, 2003 at the Desarollo de Linux en
Puerto Rico conference, San Juan Marriott Hotel. The above link is the
PDF of the slides, here is the latex
source to the slides.
- Two talks given as part of my interview for a position in the computer science department at
UPR-RRP "Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology" for the undergraduate student seminar on
August 18, and "Analysis Techniques for
Probe-level Microarray Data" for the faculty on August 20,
2009. Latex here and here.
- Clustering and reverse
engineering: from genes to the metabolome. given September 18,
2009 for Dr. Nataliya Chorna's Metabolomics class in UPR-RRP. The
slides were supposed to update and combine my clustering and reverse
engineering talks on microarrays, but I didn't quite succeed (latex source).
