It introduces readers to the art of algorithms in a practical manner which is linked with biological theory and interpretation. The book covers many key areas of bioinformatics, including\u003ci\u003e global\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003elocal sequence alignment, forced alignment\u003c\/i\u003e, detection of motifs, \u003ci\u003eSequence logos, Markov chains\u003c\/i\u003e or information entropy. Other novel approaches are also described, such as \u003ci\u003eSelf-Sequence alignment, Objective Digital Stains\u003c\/i\u003e (ODSs) or \u003ci\u003eSpectral Forecast\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eDiscrete Probability Detector\u003c\/i\u003e (DPD) algorithm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text incorporates graphical illustrations to highlight and emphasize the technical details of computational algorithms found within, to further the reader’s understanding and retention of the material. Throughout, the book is written in an accessible and practical manner, showing how algorithms can be implemented and used in JavaScript on Internet Browsers. The author has included more than 120 open-source implementations of the material, as well as 33 ready-to-use presentations. The book contains original material that has been class-tested by the author and numerous cases are examined in a biological and medical context.
