Interactions between Computer Science and Biology

Efficient Switches in Biology and Computer Science

Biological systems are adapted to respond quickly to changes in their environment. Signal processing often leads to all-or-none switch-like activation of downstream pathways. Such biological switches are based on molecular interactions that form positive feedback loops. Proper signal processing and switching have to be made by the noisy interactions of fluctuating molecular components; still, s...

Computer Science and Biology: An Unlikely Pair

from the first installment (IEEE Intelligent Systems, Nov./Dec. 2001, vol. 16, no. 6) to this second one, and several accepted manuscripts will spill over to future issues of IEEE Intelligent Systems. This outstanding community support reflects the interest and excitement that permeates the field. In a very real and immediate sense, our biomedical colleagues today are running the experiments an...
