New Biology for Engineers and Computer Scientists

For biology courses in engineering and computer science departments.Taking a system approach to expose modern biology, this book presents the fundamental system principles and parameters common to all living species. The straightforward examination begins with a presentation of molecular cell biology and progresses to the complex interrelationship between genes and proteins as observed in metabolic process, signal transduction, cell division and embryonic development. The text's unique approach provides a depiction of the human genome project, a review of high throughput biology and bioinformatic tools and a presentation of gene circuitry and pathway analysis as applied to cell division, development of embryo and metabolic pathways and expose of emerging proteomic science.Easy-to-read system approach-Emphasizes consideration of living systems as hierarchical networks. Enables students with engineering, physics and computer science backgrounds to grasp biology when presented without excess terminology and its traditional focus on exploration of gene function one at a time.Homework problems-Each chapter contains many problems that expand on the themes presented and illustrate the link between biology and engineering. Enables students to learn about the important aspects of biology by addressing the questions posed in homework assignments.Bioinformatics tools incorporated in its exposition of new biology. Teaches students how to do extensive literature search using the PUBMED database and motivates them to expand their knowledge through homework assignments.Exposition of High Throughput Biology. Provides students with a brief but thorough exposition of the human genome project and the high throughput biology tools that are used today in exploring new therapies for complex diseases such as cancer.Essentials of new biology. Provides students with an exciting new integration between biology, physics and computational sciences.
