Calculating the Secrets of Life: Contributions of the Mathematical Sciences to Molecular Biology

by Committee on the Mathematical Sciences in Genome and ProteinStructure Research, National Research Council, and Applications Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, et al.

Book Overview

As researchers have pursued biology's secrets to the molecular level, mathematical and computer sciences have played an increasingly important role--in genome mapping, population genetics, and even the controversial search for "Eve," hypothetical mother of the human race.

In this first-ever survey of the partnership between the two fields, leading experts look at how mathematical research and methods have made possible important discoveries...
