The convergence of biology and computer science was initially motivated by the need to organize and process a growing number of biological observations resulting from rapid advances in experimental techniques. Today, however, close collaboration between biologists, biochemists, medical researchers, and computer scientists has also generated remarkable benefits for the field of computer science. Systemic Approaches in Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology: Recent Advances presents new techniques that have resulted from the application of computer science methods to the organization and interpretation of biological data. The book covers three subject areas: bioinformatics, computational biology, and computational systems biology. It focuses on recent, systemic approaches in computer science and mathematics that have been used to model, simulate, and more generally, experiment with biological phenomena at any scale.
This book gathers selected high-quality research papers presented at the Eighth International Congress on Information and Communication Technology, held at Brunel University, London, on 20–23 February 2023. It discusses emerging topics pertaining to information and communication technology (ICT) for managerial applications, e-governance, e-agriculture, e-education and computing technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and e-mining. Written by respected experts and researchers working on ICT, the book offers a valuable asset for young researchers involved in advanced studies. The work is presented in four volumes.
This volume, the 7th in the Transactions on Computational Systems Biology series, contains a fully refereed and carefully selected set of papers from two workshops: BioConcur 2004 held in London, UK in August 2004 and BioConcur 2005 held in San Francisco, CA, USA in August 2005. The 8 papers chosen for this special issue are devoted to various aspects of computational methods, algorithms, and techniques in bioinformatics.
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 16th International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, CIBB 2019, which was held in Bergamo, Italy, during September 4-6, 2019. The 28 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections as follows: Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics; Algebraic and Computational Methods for the Study of RNA Behaviour; Intelligence methods for molecular characterization medicine; Machine Learning in Healthcare Informatics and Medical Biology; Modeling and Simulation Methods for Computational Biology and Systems Medicine.
The identification and mapping of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a major goal in systems biology. Experimental data are currently produced in large scale using a variety of high-throughput assays in yeast or mammalian systems. Analysis of these data using computational tools leads to the construction of large protein interaction networks, which help researchers identify novel protein functions. However, our current view of protein interaction networks is still limited and there is an active field of research trying to further develop this concept to include important processes: the topology of interactions and their changes in real time, the effects of competition for binding to the ...
Bacterial spore formers have been the focus of intense study for almost half a century centered primarily on Bacillus subtilis. This research has given us a detailed picture of the genetic, physiological and biochemical mechanisms that allow bacteria to survive harsh environmental conditions by forming highly robust spores. Although, many basic aspects of this process are now understood in great detail, bacterial sporulation still continues to be a highly attractive model for studying various cell processes at a molecular level. There are several reasons for such scientific interest. First, some of the complex steps in sporulation are not fully understood and/or only are only described by 'c...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science, ICTCS 2005, held at the Certosa di Pontignano, Siena, Italy, in October 2005. The 29 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper and abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 submissions. The papers address all current issues in theoretical computer science and focus especially on analysis and design of algorithms, computability, computational complexity, cryptography, formal languages and automata, foundations of programming languages and program analysis, natural computing paradigms (quantum computing, bioinformatics), program specification and verification, term rewriting, theory of logical design and layout, type theory, security, and symbolic and algebraic computation.
This book presents novel and advanced technologies for medical sciences in order to solidify knowledge in the related fields and define their key stakeholders. The fifteen papers included in this book were written by invited experts of international stature and address important technologies for medical sciences, including: computational modeling and simulation, image processing and analysis, medical imaging, human motion and posture, tissue engineering, design and development medical devices, and mechanic biology. Different applications are treated in such diverse fields as biomechanical studies, prosthesis and orthosis, medical diagnosis, sport, and virtual reality. This book is of interest to researchers, students and manufacturers from a wide range of disciplines related to bioengineering, biomechanics, computational mechanics, computational vision, human motion, mathematics, medical devices, medical image, medicine and physics.
