It includes a primer that can be used as a jumping off point for learning computer programming for bioinformatics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis text can be used as a self-study guide, as a course focused on computational methods in biology\/bioinformatics, or to supplement general courses that touch on topics included within the book. Computational Biology's robust interactive online components “gamify” the study of bioinformatics, allowing the reader to practice randomly generated problems on their own time to build confidence and skill and gain practical real-world experience. The online component also assures that the content being taught is up to date and accurately reflects the ever-changing landscape of bioinformatics web-based programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the Instructor xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the Student xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter –1 Getting Started 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 00 Introduction 5\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 0.1: Biological Databases and Data Storage 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 01 BLAST 31\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 1.1: BLAST Algorithm 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 02 Protein Analysis 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 2.1: Hydrophobicity Plotting 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 2.2: Protein Secondary Structure Prediction 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 03 Sequence Alignment 67\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 3.1: Dynamic Programming 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 04 Patterns in the Data 91\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 4.1: Protein Sequence Motifs 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 4.2: Position-Specific Weight Matrices 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 05 RNA Structure Prediction 111\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 5.1: RNA Structure Prediction 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 06 Phylogenetics 133\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 6.1: Phylogenetic Analysis 140\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 07 Probability: All Mutations are not Equal (-ly Probable) 157\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivity 7.1: Generating PAM and BLOSUM Substitution Matrices 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 08 Bioinformatics Programming: A Primer 179\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 191\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biology, life sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biology, life sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biology,%20life%20sciences%20%5BPS%5D%22\"\u003ePS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"ASM Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52446331797784,"sku":"9781683670025","price":68.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781683670025.jpg?v=1785111094","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/computational-biology-a-hypertextbook-paperback-softback-9781683670025","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
