Discovering Biomolecular Mechanisms with Computational Biology

Authors:

  • Contributors examine how sequence analysis becomes even more powerful if it is combined with automated scientific text mining (for the prediction of gene function and gene-disease association), with the analysis of expression data or allele occurrences (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) and frequencies
  • Summarizes non-trivial theoretical predictions for regulatory and metabolic networks that have received experimental confirmation
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit (MBIU)

About this book

In this anthology, leading researchers present critical reviews of methods and high-impact applications in computational biology that lead to results that also non-bioinformaticians must know to design efficient experimental research plans. Discovering Biomolecular Mechanisms with Computational Biology also summarizes non-trivial theoretical predictions for regulatory and metabolic networks that have received experimental confirmation.

Discovering Biomolecular Mechanisms with Computational Biology is essential reading for life science researchers and higher-level students that work on biomolecular mechanisms and wish to understand the impact of computational biology for their success.
