Algorithms in Bioinformatics: A Practical Introduction

Wing-Kin Sung


Abstract

Algorithms in Bioinformatics: A Practical Introduction is a textbook which introduces algorithmic techniques for solving bioinformatics problems. The book assumes no prior knowledge of biology. This book is suitable for students at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels to learn algorithmic techniques in bioinformatics.

The textbook covers most of the current topics in bioinformatics. For each topic, an in-depth biological motivation is given and the corresponding computation problems are precisely defined. Different methods and the corresponding algorithms are also provided. Furthermore, the book gives detailed examples to illustrate each algorithm. At the end of each chapter, a set of exercises is provided for the students to be familiar with the topics.
