Systemic Approaches in Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology

Contributors mostly from technical disciplines, but also from biology, present recent studies on the convergence of computer science and mathematics with systems biology. They focus on experimental data analysis, knowledge inference, modeling and simulations, and computational sequence design and analysis. Their topics include data analysis and interpretation in metabolomics, computational sequence design techniques for DNA microarray technologies, recognizing translation initiation sites in Arabidopsis thaliana, the role of stochastic simulations to extend food web analysis, intelligent classifier fusion for enhancing recognition of genes and the protein pattern of heredity diseases, and translating life science discoveries to disease treatments and vice versa.
