505 0 _aThe first look at a genome : sequence statistics -- All the sequence's men : gene finding -- All in the family : sequence alignment -- The boulevard of broken genes : hidden Markov methods -- Are Neanderthals among us? : variation within and between species -- Fighting HIV : natural selection at the molecular level -- SARS : a post-genomic epidemic : phylogenetic analysis -- Welcome to the hotel Chlamydia : whole genome comparisons -- The genomics of wine-making : analysis of gene expression -- A bed-time story : identification of regulatory sequences.
520 _aWhere did SARS come from? Have we inherited genes from Neanderthals? How do plants use their internal clock? The genomic revolution in biology enables us to answer such questions. But the revolution would have been impossible without the support of powerful computational and statistical methods that enable us to exploit genomic data. Many universities are introducing courses to train the next generation of bioinformaticians: biologists fluent in mathematics and computer science, and data analysts familiar with biology. This readable and entertaining book, based on successful taught courses, provides a roadmap to navigate entry to this field. It guides the reader through key achievements of bioinformatics, using a hands-on approach. Statistical sequence analysis, sequence alignment, hidden Markov models, gene and motif finding and more, are introduced in a rigorous yet accessible way. A companion website provides the reader with Matlab-related software tools for reproducing the steps demonstrated in the book.
