Solving modern biological problems requires advanced computational methods. Bioinformatics evolved from the active interaction of two fast-developing disciplines, biology and information technology. The central issue of this emerging field is the transformation of often distributed and unstructured biological data into meaningful information.

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. The chapters can be read independently, as each offers a complete overview of its specific area, or, combined, this monograph is a comprehensive treatment that will appeal to students, researchers, and R&D professionals in industry who need a state-of-the-art introduction into this challenging and exciting young field.

Industry Reviews

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." (R. M. Malyankar, Computing Reviews, April, 2006)
