Résumé :
The branch of science which deals with the application and development of analytical and theoretical methods, computer simulation and mathematical modeling techniques is known as computational biology. It is involved in the study of ecological, social and biological systems. It is a multidisciplinary field which draws on the principles of applied mathematics, chemistry, biophysics, genetics, biochemistry and computer science. Computational biology makes use of biological data for the development of algorithms and models. These algorithms are used to develop an understanding of biological systems and their relationships. The various sub-fields of computational biology are computational biomodeling, computational anatomy, computational pharmacology, computational neuropsychiatry and computational genomics. Computational biology is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels....
