Information and Computation in Biology

Information and Computation in biology refer to how living organisms store, process, and use data. DNA acts as biological information storage, containing instructions for life. Cellular processes, like how proteins are made, are biological computations, translating genetic code into physical traits. Studying these systems helps us understand life's complexity, how genetic information influences health, and how biological systems solve problems much like computers do. This interdisciplinary field combines biology, computer science, and mathematics to uncover how life encodes and processes information.
