Computer Analysis of Sequence Data Part II

DNA sequencing has become increasingly efficient over the years, resulting in an enormous increase in the amount of data gener­ ated. In recent years, the focus of sequencing has shifted, from being the endpoint of a project, to being a starting point. This is especially true for such major initiatives as the human genome project, where vast tracts of DNA of unknown function are sequenced. This sheer volume of available data makes advanced computer methods essen­ tial to analysis, and a fam...
