Summary
"Bioinformatics offers in-depth coverage of a wide range of autoimmune disorders, detailed analyses of suffix trees, and the latest biochip and genome advances." "Featuring helpful gene-finding algorithms, Bioinformatics offers key information on sequence alignment, HMMs, HMM applications, protein secondary structure, microarray techniques, and drug discovery and development. Diagrams accompany mathematical equations throughout, and exercises appear at the end of each chapter to facilitate self-evaluation."--BOOK JACKET
