The primary structure of a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule is a sequence of nucleotides (bases) over the four-letter alphabet fA; C; G; Ug. The secondary or tertiary structure of ...
This volume is intended to help advance the field of artificial neural networks along the lines of complexity present in animal brains. In particular, we are interested in examin...
Mathematical modelling is increasingly used to get insights into the functioning of complex biological networks. In this context, Petri nets (PNs) have recently emerged as a promi...
Just as electronic systems implement computation in terms of voltage (energy per unit charge), molecular systems compute in terms of chemical concentrations (molecules per unit vo...
DNA sequence alignment is a very important problem in bioinformatics. The algorithm proposed by Smith-Waterman (SW) is an exact method that obtains optimal local alignments in qua...
