SUMMARY:DNA replication: for better or for worse - John Bechhoefer\, Dept.
  of Physics\, Simon Fraser University\, BC\, Canada

DESCRIPTION:When a cell replicates its DNA\, each base must be copied once
  and only once per cell cycle. A failure to complete replication normally 
 can lead to cell death\, or worse. In this talk\, I will discuss how ideas
  from statistical physics can help understand how replication is organized
  and controlled\, including biological mechanisms and effects of damage th
 at interrupts the progress of normal replication. The overall theme is tha
 t passive stochastic control and physical effects such as diffusion are mo
 re relevant than had been believed until recently.
