Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure / Edition 1

by Nikolay Kolchanov, Ralf Hofestaedt

Overview

Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure covers:

-regulatory genomic sequences: databases, knowledge bases, computer analysis, modeling, and recognition;

-large-scale genome analysis and functional annotation;

-gene structure detection and prediction;

-comparative and evolutionary genomics;

-computer analysis of genome polymorphism and evolution; computer analysis and modeling of transcription, splicing, and translation; structural computational biology: structure-function organization of genomic DNA, RNA, and proteins;

-gene networks, signal transduction pathways, and genetically controlled metabolic pathways: principles of organization, operation, and evolution;

-data warehousing, knowledge discovery and data mining; and,

-analysis of basic patterns of genome operation, organization, and evolution.

The data presented may be used while solving a wide range of problems, both basic and applied, in various directionsof molecular biology, molecular genetics, biotechnology, pharmacogenetics, pharmacology, and adjacent fields of medicine, veterinary, and agrobiology.
