This book covers applications of computational techniques to biological problems. These techniques are based by an ever-growing number of researchers with different scientific backgrounds - biologists, chemists, and physicists.
Thisrequirement has given birth to the truly interdisciplinary field ofcomputational biology, or bioinformatics, a subject reliant on boththeoretical and practical contributions from statistics,mathematics, computer science and biology. * ...
This volume contains papers demonstrating the variety and richness of computational problems motivated by molecular biology.
Recently molecular biology has undergone unprecedented development generating vast quantities of data needing sophisticated computational methods for analysis, processing and archiving. This requirement has given birth to the truly interdisciplinary...
In one of the first major texts in the emerging field of computational molecular biology, Pavel Pevzner covers a broad range of algorithmic and combinatorial topics and shows how they are connected to molecular biology and to biotechnology.
