V. Bloomfield Computer Simulation and Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Biophysics An Introduction Using R
Series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering
▶ Covers many of the major quantitative topics in modern molecular and cell biology and biophysics ▶ Presents both standard and cutting-edge topics such as regulation of metabolism and development ▶ Treats both computer simulation and statistics ▶ Takes a computational approach that most students find more appealing than analytical mathematics ▶ Uses the powerful, open-source, cross-platform computer language R
This book provides an introduction, suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning 2009, XVI, 321 p. graduate students, to two important aspects of molecular biology and biophysics: computer simulation and data analysis.
