Algorithms in Bioinformatics : Theory and Implementation
Explores a comprehensive and insightful treatment of the practical application of bioinformatic algorithms in a variety of fields. Delivers a fulsome treatment of some of the main algorithms used to explain biological functions and relationships. It introduces readers to the art of algorithms in a practical manner which is linked with biological theory and interpretation. The book covers many key areas of bioinformatics, including global and local sequence alignment, forced alignment, detection of motifs, Sequence logos, Markov chains or information entropy. Other novel approaches are also described, such as Self-Sequence alignment, Objective Digital Stains (ODSs) or Spectral Forecast and the Discrete Probability Detector (DPD) algorithm. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A detailed presentation of new methods, such as Self-sequence alignment, Objective Digital Stains and Spectral Forecast ; A treatment of sequence alignment, including local sequence alignment, global sequence alignment and forced sequence alignment with full implementations ; Discussions of position-specific weight matrices, including the count, weight, relative frequencies, and log-likelihoods matrices ; A detailed presentation of the methods related to Markov Chains as well as a description of their implementation in Bioinformatics and adjacent fields ; An examination of information and entropy, including sequence logos and explanations related to their meaning ; A chapter on philosophical transactions that allows the reader a broader view of the prediction process ; Extensive worked examples with detailed case studies that point out the meaning of different results
Algorithms for Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks : Advanced Lectures
Thousands of mini computers (comparable to a stick of chewing gum in size), equipped with sensors, are deployed in some terrain or other. After activation the sensors form a self-organized network and provide data, for example about a forthcoming earthquake. The trend towards wireless communication increasingly affects electronic devices in almost every sphere of life. Conventional wireless networks rely on infrastructure such as base stations; mobile devices interact with these base stations in a client/server fashion. In contrast, current research is focusing on networks that are completely unstructured, but are nevertheless able to communicate (via several hops) with each other, despite the low coverage of their antennas. Such systems are called sensor or ad hoc networks, depending on the point of view and the application. Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks have gained an incredible research momentum. Computer scientists and engineers of all flavors are embracing the area. Sensor networks have been adopted by researchers in many fields: from hardware technology to operating systems, from antenna design to databases, from information theory to networking, from graph theory to computational geometry.
