Ask HN: Intro to molecular biology for a math/compsci background?
Recently read "Long for This World: The Strange Science of Immortality"; slightly biased, but really thoughtful book.
In any case, it got me interested in learning a bit more re: molecular biology; wondering if anyone knows of good resources for someone with my background (more mathphysics/compsci).
A vague question, but perhaps others can be helpful in refining where I should focus as well.
- mian2zi3 16y agoI have a similar background, and I thought this book was good: http://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Biology-made-simple-fun/dp/1889899097/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1282751443&sr=1-1-fkmr0 http://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Biology-made-simple-fun/dp/1...

Eric Lander gives the Molecular Biology lectures. He is a great lecturer.
