Current applications and recent advances in genomics and proteomics

Genomics and Proteomics Engineering in Medicine and Biology presents a well-rounded, interdisciplinary discussion of a topic that is at the cutting edge of both molecular biology and bioengineering. Compiling contributions by established experts, this book highlights up-to-date applications of biomedical informatics, as well as advancements in genomics-proteomics areas. Structures and algorithms are used to analyze genomic data and develop computational solutions for pathological understanding.

Topics discussed include:

• Qualitative knowledge models
• Interpreting micro-array data
• Gene regulation bioinformatics
• Methods to analyze micro-array
• Cancer behavior and radiation therapy
• Error-control codes and the genome
• Complex life science multi-database queries
• Computational protein analysis
• Tumor and tumor suppressor proteins interactions
