【 摘 要 】

Recent progress in the determination of genomic sequences has yielded many millions of gene sequences. But what do these sequences tell us and what are the generalities and rules that are governed by them? It seems that we understand very little about genetic contexts required to "read" them. There is more to life than the genomic blueprint of each organism. Life functions within the natural laws that we know and the ones we do not know. Mathematics can be used to understand life from the molecular to the biosphere level. This paper provides a brief overview of major historical events of molecular biology and genetics, current interface of emerging field of bioinformatics, and future challenges and perspectives between mathematics and biology.
