Overview

This textbook presents mathematical models in bioinformatics and describes biological problems that inspire the computer science tools used to manage the enormous data sets involved. The first part of the book covers mathematical and computational methods, with practical applications presented in the second part. The mathematical presentation avoids unnecessary formalism, while remaining clear and precise. The book closes with a thorough bibliography, reaching from classic research results to very recent findings. This volume is suited for a senior undergraduate or graduate course on bioinformatics, with a strong focus on mathematical and computer science background.

<p>From the reviews: <p> The authors present mathematical models in bioinformatics and describe the biological problems that inspire the computer science tools used to handle the enormous data sets involved. Who is it for? Graduates and researchers who want more than just another guide on how to use databases. Presentation Clear and logical. Would you recommend it? Yes, if you are interested in the statistical and mathematical underbelly of bioinformatics. (Times Higher Education, May, 2008)<p> The strength of the book is its thorough survey of bioinformatics topics. Its structure two parts (foundations and applications), well-classified problem areas, and a gradual approach for problem framing and solving- make it invaluable for computer scientists learning bioinformatics, or biologists applying computational methods to their fields. The book is suitable for graduate students and professionals, and can serve as a reference for state-of-the-art issues and solutions. (Cherif Kerama
