Abstract: The term computational biology refers to the knowledge derived from computer analysis of biological data that includes identification of genes in DNA sequence of different organisms, prediction of structural and functional mechanism of proteins, feature extraction and classification of genomics and proteomics. Computational biology is a rapidly developing branch of science and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and Concepts from informatics, mathematics, chemistry, physics, statistics and biochemistry. This field has arisen in parallel with the developments of automated high throughput methods of biochemistry and biological discovery that yield a ...
