Bioinformatics: An Introduction (2nd Edition) is structured into three parts devoted to Information, Biology, and Applications. Every section of the book has been completely revised for currency, and expanded where relevant, to take account of significant new discoveries and realizations of the importance of key concepts. Furthermore, two new chapters provide instruction about algorithms and knowledge representation. Emphases are placed on the underlying fundamentals and on acquisition of a broad and comprehensive grasp of the field as a whole. Provides a solid foundation in, and self-contained introduction to, the field of bioinformatics and its state-of-the-art as it relates to computational biology researchOffers additional chapters on algorithms and knowledge representation, including text mining [NEW]Imparts a thorough grounding of core concepts, enabling the reader to understand contemporary work within an optimal contextContains a greatly expanded chapter on interactions and regulatory networks [NEW]Includes examples, definitions, problems and a comprehensive and useful bibliographyPresents new experimental methods, and serves as a springboard for new research [NEW]Incorporates discussion of the method of drawing inferences from abstract sequence analysis based on frequency dictionariesContains an extensively revised chapter on medical applications [NEW]Emphasizes the underlying fundamentals and acquisition of a broad and comprehensive grasp of the field as a whole «
