Selected Topics in Computational Biology

Current Topics in Developmental Biology

The author intends this short monograph to be a primer for the laboratory study of neoplasia. He proceeds by first explaining the terminology and phenomena involved in malignancy and concludes by describing the experimental models he and co-workers have devised to study many forms of cancer. In describing the phenomena, a profuse number of well interpreted his-tological sections are employed wh...

Course Notes: Topics in Computational Structural Biology

Topics in the philosophy of biology

MARJORIE GRENE and EVERETT MENDELSOHN (editors), Topics in the philosophy of biology Boston and Dordrecht, D. Reidel, 1976, 8vo, pp. xiii, 454, $39.50 ($19.50 paperback). The editors contend, with justification, that the physical sciences have, until now, predominated in the philosophy of science. However, an increasing amount of work is being carried out in the philosophy of biology so that th...

Beyond the Cell: Using Multiscalar Topics to Bring Interdisciplinarity into Undergraduate Cellular Biology Courses

Western science has grown increasingly reductionistic and, in parallel, the undergraduate life sciences curriculum has become disciplinarily fragmented. While reductionistic approaches have led to landmark discoveries, many of the most exciting scientific advances in the late 20th century have occurred at disciplinary interfaces; work at these interfaces is necessary to manage the world's loomi...
