Beschreibung

New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999. Bound in the publisher's glossy, pictorial boards. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh and crisp, obviously never read. Illustrations. Glossary. Chapter notes. References/bibliography. Index. From the rear cover: "Finding patterns in biomolecular data, particularly in DNA and RNA, is at the center of modern biological research. These data are complex and growing rapidly, so the search for patterns requires increasingly sophisticated computer methods. PATTERN DISCOVERY IN BIOMOLECULAR DATA provides a clear, up-to-date summary of the principal techniques. Each chapter is self-contained, and the techniques are drawn from many fields, including graph theory, information theory, statistics, genetic algorithms, computer visualization, and vision. Since pattern searches often benefit from multiple approaches, the book presents methods in their purest form so that readers can best choose the method or combination that fits their needs. The chapters focus on finding patterns in DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, finding patterns in 2D and 3D structures, and choosing system components. This volume will be invaluable for all workers in genomics and genetic analysis, and others whose research requires biocomputing.". Second Printing. Hard Cover. New condition./No Dust Jacket, as issued. 8vo. xix, 251pp.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book presents, in one convenient volume, the work of researchers in the field of pattern discovery, a fundamental operation used in the process of extracting knowledge from biomolecular data. The significant growth of the size of biomolecular data has lead scientists to place increasing importance on developing novel techniques for this knowledge extraction. With this fact in mind, the editors have compiled this clear, up-to-date summary of the principle techniques of pattern discovery in molecular biology, in the hope that readers will build on these techniques and make discoveries of their own. The techniques are drawn from many fields of mathematical science, including graph theory, information theory, statistics, and computer vision.

Because there are a variety of equally valid methods of finding patterns, the book presents methods in their purest form so that readers can choose the method or combination that best fits their applications. The contributions are organized into three parts: Finding Patterns in DNA and Protein Sequences; Finding Patterns in 3D Structures, and System Components for Discovery. This resource is essential to anyone who conducts research in biocomputing, and can serve as an excellent supplementary text for biocomputing courses.
