This key book serves as a comprehensive introduction to the required molecular biology background necessary for non-biologists - especially computer scientists - to engage in bioinformatics-based research programs. Bioinformatics for computer science bridges the gap between the underlying biological questions and the methodologies employed in bioinformatics. The goal is to provide both the biologist with some of the required computational knowledge, and the non-biologist with the necessary understanding of the required concepts to allow them to develop more domain-specific approaches to address key questions in bioinformatics.
