About the Author




Bill Majoros is a computer scientist, musician, author, and bird watcher.  Early in his career he worked on Top Secret classified projects for the United States government, followed by contributions to the human genome project that determined the very first complete genomic human DNA sequence.  His  book on computational methods for finding genes in DNA (Cambridge University Press, 2007) has been used as a textbook for PhD-level courses at a number of prominent universities.
