Computational Approaches to Biotechnology in Honor of Professor Bailin Hao
Published 18 February, 2019
Professor Bailin Hao passed away in March 2018 at the age of 83. During his lifetime, he made many significant contributions to theoretical physics and computational biology. He was one of the few highly established Chinese scientists who ventured into the new field of molecular sequence analysis including sequence assembly and gene finding and contributed greatly to the rice genome project in the early 1990s. He also developed the widely used composition vector based methods for sequence comparison (CVTree). In addition, Professor Hao trained a large number of students in the fields of theoretical physics and computational biology. He was a driven force for the Chinese Computational Biology and Bioinformatics community.
