Biological Data Mining

by Jake Y. Chen (Editor), Stefano Lonardi (Editor)

Overview

Like a data-guzzling turbo engine, advanced data mining has been powering post-genome biological studies for two decades. Reflecting this growth, Biological Data Mining presents comprehensive data mining concepts, theories, and applications in current biological and medical research. Each chapter is written by a distinguished team of interdisciplin

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

The book will be useful to those interested in applying data mining to biology. Specialists in interdisciplinary areas will also find the book helpful. Despite the diversity of the topics presented, the editors manage to maintain homogeneity throughout the book. I recommend this book as a valuable resource on biological data mining. The chapters offer a wealth of useful information …
—Computing Reviews, January 2011

… Chen and Lonardi present in this book a showcase of successful recent projects in the research area where biology, computer science, and statistics intersect. The editors have done a good job of pulling together the work of over 80 authors into a well-typeset product with high-resolution graphics and even several diagrams of proteins. … The authors leave no stone unturned in terms of topics and techniques. … There is a veritable alphabet soup of special software employed … there is something for everyone with an interest in bioinformatics in this book. Make sure your library has a copy, or that you buy one for yourselves.
