Data mining in bioinformatics. (English) Zbl 1060.68026

Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing. London: Springer (ISBN 1-85233-671-4/hbk). xi, 340 p. (2005).
Publisher’s description: The goal of this book is to help readers understand state-of-the-art techniques in biological data mining and data management and includes topics such as: preprocessing tasks such as data cleaning and data integration as applied to biological data; classification and clustering techniques for microarrays; comparison of RNA structures based on string properties and energetics; discovery of the sequence characteristics of different parts of the genome; mining of haplotypes to find disease markers; sequencing of events leading to the folding of a protein; inference of the subcellular location of protein activity; classification of chemical compounds based on structure; special purpose metrics and index structures for phylogenetic applications; a new query language for protein searching based on the shape of proteins; very fast indexing schemes for sequences and pathways.
Aimed at computer scientists, necessary biology is explained.
The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.
