Place :	Lecture Hall, Inst. of Mathematics
Abstract:	We define infinite families of links called tangle-inserted links and show that the HOMFLY polynomials of these links can be computed by a unified approach. Our results can be used to determine the chirality of some molecules in the real world, which had been studied in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics.
