RESOURCES FOR OPEN PROBLEMS IN ALGORITHMIC BIOLOGY

The following papers are provided for inspiration, both on past collections of open problems and on discussions of proper problem formulation. These papers do not match the short abstract format we require, and the open problems in them may be dated.
