    DIMACS - Series in Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
    Volume: 47; 1999; 286 pp
    MSC: Primary 92; 05

    This volume features highlights from the DIMACS Special Year on “Mathematical Support for Molecular Biology”. Top researchers presented both new research results and comprehensive overviews on the use of mathematics (especially discrete mathematics) and theoretical computer science in molecular biology. The book provides a unique “snapshot” of this growing area of study. It will be of interest to both experts and novices seeking information on the state of the research.

    Co-published with the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science beginning with Volume 8. Volumes 1–7 were co-published with the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM).
    Readership

    Graduate students, research mathematicians, and computer scientists working in computational biology.
