نبذه عن الكتاب:



Recent progress in the determination of genomic sequences has yielded many

millions of gene sequences. But what do these sequences tell us, and what

generalities and rules are governed by them? There is more to life than the

genomic blueprint of each organism. Life functions within the natural laws

that we know and those we do not know. It appears that we understand very

little about genetic contexts required to “ read ” these sequences. Mathematics

can be used to understand life from the molecular level to the level of the

biosphere. This book is intended to further integrate the mathematics and

biological sciences. The reader will gain valuable knowledge about mathematical methods and tools, phenomenological results, and interdisciplinary connections in the fi elds of molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and informatics.

Historically, mathematics, probability, and statistics have been widely used

in the biological sciences. Science is challenged to understand the system

organization of the molecular genetics ensemble, with its unique properties of

reliability and productivity. Disclosing key aspects of this organization constitutes a big step in science about nature as a whole and in creating the most

productive biotechnologies. Knowledge of this structural organization should

become a part of mathematical natural science.
