Summary:
"This introductory text offers a clear exposition of the algorithmic
principles driving advances in bioinformatics. Accessible to students
in both biology and computer science, it strikes a unique balance
between rigorous mathematics and practical techniques, emphasizing
the ideas underlying algorithms rather than offering a collection of
apparently unrelated problems." "The book introduces biological and
algorithmic ideas together, linking issues in computer science to
biology and thus capturing the interest of students in both subjects.
It demonstrates that relatively few design techniques can be used to
solve a large number of practical problems in biology, and presents
this material intuitively." "An Introduction to Bioinformatics
Algorithms is one of the first books on bioinformatics that can be
used by students at an undergraduate level. It includes a dual table
of contents, organized by algorithmic idea and biological topic:
discussions of biologically relevant problems, including a detailed
problem formulation and one or more solutions for each; and brief
biographical sketches of leading figures in the field."--BOOK JACKET.
