Book description
An invaluable tool in Bioinformatics, this unique volume provides both
theoretical and experimental results, and describes basic principles of
computational intelligence and pattern analysis while deepening the
reader's understanding of the ways in which these principles can be used
for analyzing biological data in an efficient manner.
This book synthesizes current research in the integration of
computational intelligence and pattern analysis techniques, either
individually or in a hybridized manner. The purpose is to analyze
biological data and enable extraction of more meaningful information
and insight from it. Biological data for analysis include sequence
data, secondary and tertiary structure data, and microarray data.
These data types are complex and advanced methods are required,
including the use of domain-specific knowledge for reducing search
space, dealing with uncertainty, partial truth and imprecision,
efficient linear and/or sub-linear scalability, incremental approaches
to knowledge discovery, and increased level and intelligence of
interactivity with human experts and decision makers
- Chapters authored by leading researchers in CI in biology informatics.
- Covers highly relevant topics: rational drug design; analysis of
microRNAs and their involvement in human diseases.
- Supplementary material included: program code and relevant data
sets correspond to chapters.
