Genome-Scale Algorithm Design

Reviews / Votes

'Genome-Scale Algorithm Design is a well-thought-out ... book that fills a gap in the recent literature ... [on algorithms] for bioinformatics. It offers a sound, clear, and rich overview of computer science methods for the challenge of today's biological sequence analysis. I [recommend] it to students as well as to researchers in the field.' Nadia Pisanti, University of Pisa 'This book will be a new reference text for string data structures and algorithms, as well as their applications in computational molecular biology and genome analysis. The technically precise style, illustrated with a great collection of well-designed examples and many exercises, makes it an ideal resource for researchers, students, and teachers.' Jens Stoye, Universitaet Bielefeld 'I think the book is really great and could envision using it in courses in bioinformatics and data compression. The book's scope, clarity, and mathematically precise, compelling explanations make the advanced topics in genome-wide bioinformatics accessible to [a] wide audience.' Christina Boucher, Colorado State University 'This book is a timely, rigorous and comprehensive systematization of the concepts and tools at the core of post-genome bioinformatics. By choosing to incorporate the principles of algorithms design most pertinent to the topic, the authors have created a rare, self-contained reference that will smoothly introduce the neophyte and assist the seasoned researcher as well as anybody who needs to understand these issues at a fundamental level. The organization of the material, the clarity of exposition and rigor of treatment make the book an ideal textbook for courses directed at a mixed audience coming from diverse, even distant backgrounds.' Alberto Apostolico, Georgia Institute of Technology 'A very timely textbook covering many recently established techniques and applications at a level of rigor befitting a computer science audience.' Paul Medvedev, Pennsylvania State University
