Systematic biology has a far wider application than merely the provision of a reliable classification scheme for new strains. With the framework of the hierarchic system stabilizing, genomes, noncoding regions, and genes and their products can now be evaluated in an evolutionary context. This book summarizes recent developments in the molecular characterization of cultured and as-yet uncultured ...
With the advent of high-throughput technologies following completion of the human genome project and similar projects in model organisms, the number of genes of interest has expanded and the traditional methods for gene function analysis cannot achieve the throughput necessary for large-scale exploration. “Gene Function Analysis” brings together a number of techniques that have developed recently ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th RECOMB Comparative Genomics Satellite Workshop, RECOMB-CG 2008, held in Paris, France, in October 2008. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 initial submissions. The papers illustrate the crucial role of comparative genomics in understanding genome function and address a broad variety of ...
This volume is based on ISPP2009, and presents selected invited works, reviews and research articles, covering the spectrum of the diverse subject matter covered by this symposium series. Here the authors have greatly expanded on what was presented in Montreal to ensure complete coverage of each topic, covering the gamut from ecology, physiology, proteins and genomics, signal transduction, to ...
Volume 5 offers comprehensive coverage of the molecular and biological properties of the six genera plant viruses-Comovirus, Dianthovirus, Enamovirus, Fabavirus, Idaeovirus, and Nepovirus-that have bipartite, single-stranded positive-sense RNA genomes. ...
Data Mining and Applications in Genomics contains the data mining algorithms and their applications in genomics, with frontier case studies based on the recent and current works at the University of Hong Kong and the Oxford University Computing Laboratory, University of Oxford. It provides a systematic introduction to the use of data mining algorithms as an investigative tool for applications in ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the RECOMB 2005 Satellite Workshop, the 3rd RECOMB Comparative Genomics meeting RCG 2005, held in Dublin, Ireland in September 2005. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 initial submissions. The papers address a broad variety of aspects and components of the field of comparative genomics, ranging from ...
Structural requirements constrain the evolution of biological entities at all levels, from macromolecules to their networks, right up to populations of biological organisms. Classical models of molecular evolution, however, are focused at the level of the symbols - the biological sequence - rather than that of their resulting structure. Now recent advances in understanding the thermodynamics of ...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the RECOMB 2004 Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics, RCG 2004, held in Bertinoro, Italy in October 2004. The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and improved for inclusion in the book. The papers address a broad variety of aspects of comparative genomics ranging from new quantitative discoveries about ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th RECOMB Comparative Genomics Satellite Workshop, RECOMB-CG 2006, held in Montreal, Canada in September 2006. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 initial submissions. The papers address a broad variety of aspects and components of the field of comparative genomics, ranging from new quantitative ...
Genome Exploitation: Data Mining the Genome is developed from the 23rd Stadler Genetic Symposium. This volume discusses and illustrates how scientists are going to characterize and make use of the massive amount of information being accumulated about the plant and animal genomes. Genome Exploitation: Data Mining the Genome is a state-of-the-art picture on mining the Genome databases. This is one ...
The title will develop from the 24th Stadler symposium. It will explore the general theme "GENOME EXPLOITATION: Data Mining the Genomes". The idea behind the theme is to discuss and illustrate how scientists are going to characterize and make use of the massive amount of information being accumulated about plant and animal genomes. The book will present a state-of-the-art picture on mining the ...
This book covers the latest developments in somatic cell genetics and molecular genetics of trees. The main topics included in this book are regeneration by organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis, gene expression and molecular physiology, molecular markers, genome mapping, gene transfer, and biotic/abiotic stress-related molecular characterizations. The papers in this book have been ...
The Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine wanted to address the link between environmental factors and the development of cancer in light of recent advances in genomics. They asked what research tools are needed, how new scientific information can be applied in a timely manner to reduce the burden of cancer, ...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th RECOMB International Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics, RECOMB-CG 2009, Budapest, Hungary, in September 2009. This workshop is devoted to bringing together scientists working on all aspects of comparative genomics, from computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians working on novel computational approaches for genome analysis and ...
Introduction to Bioinformatics for Bacterial Genomics introduces bioinformatics techniques and programming using bacterial genomics as the main application area. This advanced-level text book introduces the student to both bioinformatics and bacterial genomics, with one topic motivating the other and vice versa. The strategy of this text is to lead the reader to a series of progressively more ...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of two joint RECOMB 2005 satellite events - the First Annual Workshop on Systems Biology, RSB 2005, and the Second Annual Workshop on Regulatory Genomics, RRG 2005, held in San Diego, CA, USA in December 2005. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers address a ...
In the field of molecular evolution, inferences about past evolutionary events are made using molecular data from currently living species. With the availability of genomic data from multiple related species, molecular evolution has become one of the most active and fastest growing fields of study in genomics and bioinformatics. Most studies in molecular evolution rely heavily on statistical ...
Books on bioinformatics which began appearing in the mid 80s primarily served gene-hunters, and biologists who wished to construct family trees showing tidy lines of descent. Given the great pharmaceutical industry interest in genes, this trend has continued in most subsequent texts. These deal extensively with the exciting topic of gene discovery and searching databases, but hardly consider ...
