Four researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia show how fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic can be used to process the massive data that is generated in biology by gene sequencing and other new technologies. Their examples are measuring ontological similarity, predicting and analyzing protein structure, and analyzing microarray data. The study is suitable as a reference for researchers or as a textbook for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course. Readers and students are assumed to have a grounding in college calculus but not necessarily any background in biology. Distributed in the US by World Scientific.
