-------------------------
Prepare of a 10 minutes talk.

Research talk:

10 slides.

1. background, gene network, essential and non-essential,
2. background, what is aging, our quantitative definition
3. specific aim: how reliable is the yeast gene interaction network.
4. method: how to generate random networks.
5. method: evaluate the failure rates of original and random networks
6. method: how network failure is simulated and evaluated
7. result: histogram of failure rate, average lifespan of random networks, with original network
8. result: Gompertz versus Weibull (biological versus machine aging)
9. summary and conclusions
10. future directions:

acknowledge, funding support

things to do:
->flow chart to generate 100 random networks and simulate their failures.
-> run the two R codes on network aging simulation and network permutation.
