Computer Simulation and Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Biophysics: An Introduction Using R

This book provides an introduction to two important aspects of modern bioch- istry, molecular biology, and biophysics: computer simulation and data analysis. My aim is to introduce the tools that will enable students to learn and use some f- damental methods to construct quantitative models of biological mechanisms, both deterministic and with some elements of randomness; to learn how concepts of pr- ability can help to understand important features of DNA sequences; and to apply a useful s...
