Paul A. Thomsen


Rebel Chief : The Motley Life of Colonel William Holland Thomas C.S.A. Paul A.

Bioinformatics Technologies

Dennis Conroy


Bioinformatics Technologies Dennis Conroy Book DescriptionSolving modern biological problems requires advanced computational methods. Bioinformatics evolved from the active interaction of two fast-developing disciplines, biology and information technology. The central issue of this emerging field is the transformation of often distributed and unstructured biological data into meaningful information. This book describes the application of well-established concepts and techniques from areas like data mining, machine learning, database technologies, and visualization techniques to problems like protein data analysis, genome analysis and sequence databases. Chen has collected contributions from leading researchers in each area. The chapters can be read independently, as each offers a complete overview of its specific area, or, combined, this monograph is a comprehensive treatment that will appeal to students, researchers, and R&D professionals in industry who need a state-of-the-art introduction into this challenging and exciting... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionSolving modern biological problems requires advanced computational methods.
