Computational Techniques for Biological Sequence Analysis
This book provides an overview of basic and advanced computational techniques for analyzing and understanding protein, RNA, and DNA sequences. It covers effective computing techniques for DNA and protein classifications, evolutionary and sequence information analysis, evolutionary algorithms, and ensemble algorithms. Furthermore, the book reviews the role of machine learning techniques, artificial intelligence, ensemble learning, and sequence-based features in predicting post-translational modifications in proteins, DNA methylation, and mRNA methylation, along with their functional implications. The book also discusses the prediction of protein–protein and protein–DNA interactions, protein structure, and function using computational methods. It also presents techniques for quantitative analysis of protein–DNA interactions and protein methylation and their involvement in gene regulation. Additionally, the use of nature-inspired algorithms to gain insights into gene regulatory mechanisms and metabolic pathways in human diseases is explored. This book acts as a useful reference for bioinformaticians and computational biologists working in the fields of molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics. Key Features: Reviews machine learning techniques for DNA sequence classification and protein structure prediction Discusses genetic algorithms for analyzing multiple sequence alignments and predicting protein–protein interaction sites Explores computational methods for quantitative analysis of protein–DNA interactions Examine the role of nature-inspired algorithms in understanding the gene regulation and metabolic pathways Covers evolutionary algorithms and sequence-based features in predicting post-translational modifications
Problems and Solutions in Biological Sequence Analysis
Author: Mark Borodovsky
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2006-09-04
This book is the first of its kind to provide a large collection of bioinformatics problems with accompanying solutions. Notably, the problem set includes all of the problems offered in Biological Sequence Analysis, by Durbin et al. (Cambridge, 1998), widely adopted as a required text for bioinformatics courses at leading universities worldwide. Although many of the problems included in Biological Sequence Analysis as exercises for its readers have been repeatedly used for homework and tests, no detailed solutions for the problems were available. Bioinformatics instructors had therefore frequently expressed a need for fully worked solutions and a larger set of problems for use on courses. This book provides just that: following the same structure as Biological Sequence Analysis and significantly extending the set of workable problems, it will facilitate a better understanding of the contents of the chapters in BSA and will help its readers develop problem-solving skills that are vitally important for conducting successful research in the growing field of bioinformatics. All of the material has been class-tested by the authors at Georgia Tech, where the first ever MSc degree program in Bioinformatics was held.
