Algorithmic Aspects of Bioinformatics. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Algorithmic Aspects of Bioinformatics

This book introduces some key problems in bioinformatics, discusses the models used to formally describe these problems, and analyzes the algorithmic approaches used to solve them. After introducing the basics of molecular biology and algorithmics, the book explains string algorithms and alignments. It next details the field of physical mapping and DNA sequencing and examines the application of algorithmics to the analysis of biological data. The book features exciting application examples, such as predicting the spatial structure of proteins, and computing haplotypes from genotype data. This book describes topics in detail and presents formal models in a mathematically precise, yet intuitive manner, with many figures and chapter summaries, detailed derivations, and examples. It is well suited as an introduction into the field of bioinformatics, and will benefit students and lecturers in bioinformatics and algorithmics, while also offering practitioners an update on current researchtopics.
