and "non-algorithmic" computation such as neural networks. Various case
studies in applying these areas in the areas of protein folding,
protein structure prediction, drug docking, and enzymatics will be
covered. Core Specialization: Core B (Informatics and Genomics); Core D
(Computational Biology); BioE Content: Biological.
