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 ... Read more
