This book aims to serve as a guide for computer scientists who need to understand cell biology, breaking the field into three parts: biological mechanics, experimental methods, and language/nomenclature. While biological mechanics, which investigates cellular-level details, is covered by many texts, this book also focuses on experimental methods – how biologists conduct experiments and gather data - and on helping the reader understand the language and terminology of biology, which is rich but challenging for non-biologists. A Computer Scientist's Guide to Cell Biology uses a metaphor of biology as a strange land with an unfamiliar language and customs. The goal of the book is to provide a high-level introduction to cell biology, simplifying concepts and relating them to familiar ideas from computer science, so that working computer scientists can more effectively understand read recent research papers and results. This Second Edition contains a number of updates, including discussions of CRISPR, advances in DNA Sequencing, and mRNA vaccines. It serves as an easy-to-read travel guide for computer scientists navigating the intricate and sometimes perplexing terrain of cell biology, offering insights into experimental methods and helping bridge the gap between the structured world of computer science and the complexities of biological systems. 0aCytology.967436 0aApplication software. 0aBioinformatics.964050 0aBiomathematics.970325 0aStem cells.96743514aCell Biology.96744024aComputer and Information Systems Applications.24aBioinformatics.96405024aComputational and Systems Biology.96597424aMathematical and Computational Biology.97032724aStem Cell Biology.9674391 aCohen, Charles K.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9803352 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303155906808iPrinted edition:z978303155908208iPrinted edition:z978303155909940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-55907-5  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c61495d61495
