Special Issue on Querying Biological Sequences

The sequencing and annotation of entire genomes has enriched the content of biological sequence databases such that new methods of sequence analysis, comparison and retrieval are being invented and rerun on an increasingly regular basis, generating new and more complete biological information. Examples include full genome comparisons and phylogenetic footprinting. Simple identification of homol...

Biological effects of electromagnetic fields.

Life on earth has evolved in a sea of natural electromagnetic (EM) fields. Over the past century, this natural environment has sharply changed with introduction of a vast and growing spectrum of man-made EM fields. From models based on equilibrium thermodynamics and thermal effects, these fields were initially considered too weak to interact with biomolecular systems, and thus incapable of infl...
