[计算生物学] - Introduction to Computational Biology This textbook is intended for students enrolled in
courses in computational biology or bioinformatics as
well as for molecular biologists, mathematicians, and
computer scientists.Analysis of molecular sequence
data is the main subject of this introduction to
computational biology. There are two closely connected
aspects to biological sequences: (i) their relative
position in the space of all other sequences, and (ii)
their movement through this sequence space in
evolutionary time. Accordingly, the first part of the
book deals with classical methods of sequence
analysis: pairwise alignment, exact string matching,
multiple alignment, and hidden Markov models. In the
second part evolutionary time takes center stage and
phylogenetic reconstruction, the analysis of sequence
variation, and the dynamics of genes in populations
are explained in detail. In addition, the book
contains a computer program with a graphical user
interface that allows the reader to experiment with a
number of key concepts developed by the authors |
