Written with the advanced undergraduate in mind, this book introduces into the
field of Bioinformatics. The authors explain the computational and conceptional
background to the analysis of large-scale sequence data. Many of the
corresponding analysis methods are rooted in evolutionary thinking, which serves
as a common thread throughout the book. The focus is on methods of comparative
genomics and subjects covered include: alignments, gene finding, phylogeny, and
the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The volume contains
exercises, questions & answers to selected problems.
