Biological Circuit Design: Caltech Textbook
A web-based textbook on biological circuit design by Michael Elowitz and Justin Bois (Caltech) — covering genetic circuits, feedback mechanisms, oscillatory dynamics, and developmental patterning with Python exercises. The quantitative foundation for understanding living systems as engineerable circuits.
In a First, an Entire Organism Is Simulated by Software
The 2012 announcement that Stanford researchers had built the first complete computational model of a living organism — Mycoplasma genitalium — simulating every known molecular interaction in the cell. A landmark in computational biology.
Suffix Trees in Computational Biology
A course page on suffix trees in computational biology from the University of Saskatchewan. Suffix trees are the data structure behind fast substring search in genomic sequences — O(n) construction, O(m) query — making genome-scale string matching tractable.
