Abstract :

The book consists of 17 chapters and appendices. While certain chapters build
on the work from previous ones, each is self-contained and follows a ¯xed for-
mula. The ¯rst half of a chapter provides the background in biochemistry that is
essential to the chapter. Then, a Perl program is built up during the remainder
of the chapter which addresses the problem, with di±cult parts explained in the
text. Every chapter has one to around ten questions for the student, with no
solutions provided. The di±culty of the questions range from drawing a su±x
tree for a word to extending the functionality of the Perl program from that
chapter. Every chapter concludes with a bibliography. A brief summary of each
chapter is as follows.
