The assimilation of computational methods into the life sciences has played an important role in advancing biological research. From sequencing genomes to discovering motifs in large collections of functionally equivalent sequences of nucleic acids and proteins, the value of powerful computational tools has become abundantly clear. The Compact Handbook of Computational Biology describes the foundational concepts, techniques, and challenges of biomolecular sequence analysis, biopolymer structure analysis and prediction, genomics, and molecular evolution.

With extraordinary clarity, the Systems Biology: Principles, Methods, and Concepts focuses on the technical practical aspects of modeling complex or organic general systems. It also provides in-depth coverage of modeling biochemical, thermodynamic, engineering, and ecological systems. Among other methods and concepts based in logic, computer science, and dynamical systems, it explores pragmatic techniques of General Systems Theory. This text presents biology as an autonomous science from the perspective of fundamental modeling techniques. A complete resource for anyone interested in biology...
