Computationalmolecular biology, or bioinformatics, draws on the disciplines of biology,mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering.It provides the computational support for functional genomics, which links thebehavior of cells, organisms, and populations to the information encoded in thegenomes, as well as for structural genomics. At the heart of all large-scale andhigh-throughput biotechnologies, it has a growing impact on health and medicine.Current Topics In Computational Molecular Biology is a survey of computational molecular biology covering traditional topics such asprotein structure modeling and sequence alignment, and more recent ones such asexpression data analysis and comparative genomics. It combines algorithmic,statistical, database, and AI-based methods for studying biological problems.The book also contains an introductory chapter, as well as one on generalstatistical modeling and computational techniques in molecular biology. Eachchapter presents a self-contained review of a specific subject. ISBN - 9788180520525
