A unified overview of computer science ideas inspired by biology, Biological Computation presents the most fundamental and significant concepts in this area. In the book, readers discover profound ideas about computer science throughbiological examples, such as the use of DNA for performing computations and how evolution solves optimization problems. The text focuses on cellular automata, evolutionary computation, neural networks, and molecular computation. Eachchapter explores the biological background, describes the computational techniques, gives examples of applications, discusses possible variants of the techniques, and includes exercises and solutions.
