Algorithms in Bioinformatics

A Practical Introduction

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This classroom-tested text provides an in-depth introduction to the algorithmic techniques applied in bioinformatics. For each topic, the author clearly details the biological motivation, precisely defines the corresponding computational problems, and includes detailed examples to illustrate each algorithm. The text covers basic molecular biology concepts, sequence similarity, the suffix tree, sequence databases, sequence and genome alignment, the phylogenetic tree, genome rearrangement, motif finding, the secondary structure of RNA, peptide sequencing, and population genetics. Supplementary material is provided on the author's website and a solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
