This article deals with application of covering and packing problems to biology. The focus is on the triangle packing, full sibling reconstruction, maximum profit coverage and 3-coverage. The authors's inapproximability constant improves the earlier results, while the results on full siblings reconstruction problem answer questions by Berge-Wolf et. al. A few other relevant problems of bioinformatics are discussed.
