Practical bioinformatics for beginners : From raw sequence analysis to machine learning applications
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is increasingly common and has applications in various fields such as clinical diagnosis, animal and plant breeding, and conservation of species. This incredible tool has become cost-effective. However, it generates a deluge of sequence data that requires efficient analysis. The highly sought-after skills in computational and statistical analyses include machine learning and, are essential for successful research within a wide range of specializations, such as identifying causes of cancer, vaccine design, new antibiotics, drug development, personalized medicine, and increased crop yields in agriculture.This invaluable book provides step-by-step guides to complex topics that make it easy for readers to perform specific analyses, from raw sequenced data to answer important biological questions using machine learning methods. It is an excellent hands-on material for lecturers who conduct courses in bioinformatics and as reference material for professionals. The chapters are standalone recipes making them suitable for readers who wish to self-learn selected topics. Readers gain the essential skills necessary to work on sequenced data from NGS platforms / hence, making themselves more attractive to employers who need skilled bioinformaticians

100 years of relativity : Space-time structure - Einstein and beyond
Contains contributions from leading researchers, worldwide, who have thought deeply about the nature and consequences of this interplay. The articles take a long-range view of the subject and distill the most important advances in broad terms, making them easily accessible to non-specialists. The first part is devoted to a summary of how relativity theories were born (J Stachel). The second part discusses the most dramatic ramifications of general relativity, such as black holes (P Chrusciel and R Price), space-time singularities (H Nicolai and A Rendall), gravitational waves (P Laguna and P Saulson), the large scale structure of the cosmos (T Padmanabhan); experimental status of this theory (C Will) as well as its practical application to the GPS system (N Ashby). The last part looks beyond Einstein and provides glimpses into what is in store for us in the 21st century.
