Bioinformatics Technologies Yi-ping Phoebe Chen 2005 edition

Brief Description: Solving modern biological problems requires advanced computational methods. 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. Review Quotes: From the reviews: "Today, the word ???bioinformatics??? is most commonly used to denote computational molecular biology. ??? This book collects surveys of the most significant themes of the field, written by various researchers. ??? Extensive bibliographies accompany each chapter. ??? the wide range of subject matter covered makes the book a good starting point for students or researchers with the necessary computer science background who are embarking on bioinformatics projects or research in the area."
