Publisher Summary 1
Introducing computational molecular biology to readers with a technical background in computer science, Aluru (electrical and computer engineering, Iowa State U.) has designed this work to serve as a reference book for researchers and practitioners, a compendium of introductory and advanced material to aid the entry of new researchers into the field, and a resource for classroom instruction of graduate and senior level undergraduate students. He begins with a discussion of the fundamental topic of alignments to discover evolutionary relationships between biological sequences. Subsequent chapters cover string data structures and their applications in computational biology; computational problems arising from genome assembly and expressed sequent tag clustering; computational methods that arise in understanding genomes, relationships between genomes and various organisms, and the mechanism of genetic inheritance; microarrays and analysis of gene expression, as well as approaches for inference and applications of protein structure information; and algorithmic issues in designing bioinformatic databases and the application of mining techniques to biological data.
