Theoretical and Computational Methods in Genome Research

The application ofcomputational methods to solve scientific and practical problems in genome research created a new interdisciplinary area that transcends boundaries tradi­ tionally separating genetics, biology, mathematics, physics, and computer science. Computers have, of course, been intensively used in the field of life sciences for many years, even before genome research started, to store and analyze DNA or protein sequences; to explore and model the three-dimensional structure, the dy...
