Genomics and Proteomics: A Signal Processor's Tour

Since the sensational announcement of the double helix structure for the DNA molecule more than fifty years ago by Watson and Crick there has been phenomenal progress. With the enormous amount of genomic and proteomic data available to us, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to process this information in ways that are useful to humankind. Traditional as well as modern signal processing methods have played an important role in these fields. Genomic signal processing is primarily the processing of DNA sequences, RNA sequences, and proteins.
