Ten in-depth studies deal with the new developments of mathematical, statistical, and computer methods in the field of molecular biology. Subjects include: development of a database for nucleotide sequences; analysis with restriction enzymes; sequence alignments; consensus patterns in sequences; statistical aspects of the primary structure of nucleotide sequences; patterns in DNA and amino acid sequences; use of dynamic programming algorithm in RNA secondary structure prediction; consensus methods for folding single-standard nucleic acids; geometry and topography of DNA structure; and mechanics of equilibra superhelical DNA.
