-
Biology and Mathematics integrated chapter by chapter, the biology
coverage is extensive and usable as biology text in itself
-
Each chapter includes computer biology "laboratory" exercises
for studying biological mechanisms and dynamics via mathematical
modeling
-
a "Mathematical Tools" chapter is included covering the mathematical
concepts and practices needed for all but the last chapter of the book;
a separate introduction to algebraic statistics is given for that
-
the mathematical modeling is implemented in both Maple
and Matlab, extensive examples are given including the
code for all figures
-
computer code construction proceeds from very the elementary and
basic to the more complex; the book features a "code index"
whereby specific mathematical techniques implemented in the
code examples can be readily located
-
an introduction to the new mathematics of algegraic statistics
invented for genomics is given along with several applications
including the new chapter of phylogenetics
-
coverage is provided of the revolutionary multidisipline of
genomics and several of its equally revolutionary offshoots
-
an introduction to "internet biology" is given featuring DNA and
protein database look ups, BLAST matching, and comparative genomics
carried out on the NCBI website
-
extensive treatment is provided of the mathematics underlying DNA
and protein sequence matching and the Dayhoff and other scoring
matrices
