Chapter 3: Biomolecular Informatics

As described in earlier chapters, bioinformatics refers to the pedagogy evolved to analyze and ascertain informatic details in biological sciences. Such details commence at the morsels of genes residing within biomolecular cells and stretch through the entire complexity of whole-life systems. Correspondingly, the gene-related composition of residues in a biosequence represents a statistical structure that poses informative (negentropy) as well as non-informative (posentropy) details. Elucidating such informatic details in biomolecular sequences forms the essential theme of this chapter.
