Computational Molecular Biology - An Introduction

Informationen zum Autor Peter Clote and Rolf Backofen are the authors of Computational Molecular Biology: An Introduction, published by Wiley. Klappentext Recently molecular biology has undergone unprecedented development generating vast quantities of data needing sophisticated computational methods for analysis, processing and archiving. This requirement has given birth to the truly interdisciplinary field of computational biology, or bioinformatics, a subject reliant on both theoretical and practical contributions from statistics, mathematics, computer science and biology. Provides the background mathematics required to understand why certain algorithms work Guides the reader through probability theory, entropy and combinatorial optimization In-depth coverage of molecular biology and protein structure prediction Includes several less familiar algorithms such as DNA segmentation, quartet puzzling and DNA strand separation prediction Includes class tested exercises useful for self-study Source code of programs available on a Web site Primarily aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students from bioniformatics, computer science, statistics, mathematics and the biological sciences, this text will also interest researchers from these fields. Zusammenfassung This introductory level text is suitable for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate students of computational biology. Written by experienced authors! it provides detailed coverage of many algorithms! including applications and possible modifications. Inhaltsverzeichnis Molecular Biology. Math Primer. Sequence Alignment. All About Eve. Hidden Markov Models. Structure Prediction. Appendices. References. Index.
