This course provides a survey of problems
at the interface of statistical physics and modern biology. Topics covered
includes: bioinformatic methods for extracting information content of DNA,
gene finding, sequence comparison, and phylogenetic trees, physical
interactions responsible for structure of biopolymers, DNA double helix,
secondary structure of RNA, and elements of protein folding, considerations of
force, motion, and packaging, protein motors and membranes.
