Product Description
The 2003 completion of the Human Genome Project was just one step in the evolution of DNA sequencing. Now from a "who's who" of pioneers in the field comes the latest genome sequencing and assembly advances that are redefining the field. This trail-blazing book gives researchers, unparalleled access to state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technologies, new algorithmic sequence assembly techniques, and emerging methods for both resequencing and genome analysis that together form the most solid foundation possible for tackling experimental and computational challenges in the genome sciences today. Including critiques of existing techniques, this far-reaching resource offers researchers assistance in achieving more rapid and accurate DNA sequencing and developing the next generation of high-throughput methods and devices.

	Biological Sequence Analysis: Probabilistic Models of Proteins and Nucleic Acids by Richard Durbin (Author), Sean R. Eddy (Author), Anders Krogh (Author), Graeme Mitchison (Author) Probablistic models are becoming increasingly important in analyzing the huge amount of data being produced by large-scale DNA-sequencing efforts such as the Human Genome Project. For example, hidden Markov models are used for analyzing biological sequences, linguistic-grammar-based probabilistic models for identifying RNA secondary structure, and probabilistic evolutionary models for inferring phylogenies of sequences from different organisms. This book gives a unified, up-to-date and...
