Inhaltsangabe

The course was held in Dubrovnik, Croatia in May 2003. The chapters were written by the lecturers at the course, or by people they recommended. The goal is to offer a broad overview of informatics in the biological sciences from historical, theoretical, and practical perspectives. Among the topics are concepts of similarity in bioinformatics, predicting and visualizing DNA structural properties from sequence, and comparing 20 common prediction algorithms using a neural network to predict protein secondary structure. The students' evaluations of the course are appended. Only the authors are indexed. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The rapidly growing number of genomic data has had a profound impact on how bioinformatics is being taught to biologists. In the earlier days it was customary to lead the students gradually through all the concepts and tools, more recently this approach became less practicable because of the fast development of the field. The main body of this book consists of chapters summarizing the fundamental concepts of bioinformatics, based on the topics presented at a course held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in 2003. The second part of the book contains application papers submitted by the students after the course.
