Features: This book is suitable as a textbook for interdisciplinary fields such as mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, and biophysics, as well as a reference for researchers in related disciplines. Computational molecular biology is one of the emerging interdisciplinary fields that combines mathematics, computer science, and biological sciences. This book covers major areas of algorithms and combinatorial problems, revealing how these problems are connected to molecular biology and biotechnology. The book includes a rich "formula-free computational molecular biology" section, which introduces biological concepts and computational ideas in a relatively simple way but covers the core ideas of many fundamental genomic problems and their results. The book strives to express in an accessible manner how profound mathematical ideas can explain complex biological problems, making it understandable for computer scientists without biological training and biologists with limited computational science backgrounds.
