Bioinformatics: Sequence and Genome Analysis

Application of computational methods to DNA and protein science is an exciting development. This book features sequence alignment, structure prediction, phylogenetic and gene prediction, database searching, and genome analysis that are clearly explained and illustrated along with underlying algorithms and assumptions. Theoretical underpinnings are linked to biological problems and solutions. Extensive tables provide descriptions and Web sources for a range of available software. An associated Website, accessible free of charge by book purchasers, provides links to Internet sources referred to in the text (http://www.BioinformaticsOnline.org).
