Synopsis

We are pleased to present the proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2005) which took place in Mallorca, Spain, October 3-6, 2005. The WABI 2005 workshop was part of the ?ve ALGO 2005 conf- ence meetings, which, in addition to WABI, included ESA, WAOA, IWPEC, and ATMOS. WABI 2005 was sponsored by EATCS (the European Assoc- tion for Theoretical Computer Science), the ISCB (the International Society for Computational Biology), the Universitat Polit` ecnica de Catalunya, the U- versitat de les Illes Balears, and the Ministerio de Educaci´ on y Ciencia. See http://www.lsi.upc.edu/˜wabi05/ for more details. The Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics highlights research work speci?cally developed to address algorithmic problems in biosequence analysis. Theemphasisisthereforeonstatisticalandprobabilisticalgorithmsthataddress important problems in the ?eld of molecular and structural biology. At present, given the enormous scienti?c and technical e?orts in functional and structural genomics, the relevance of the problem is therefore constrained by the need for sound, e?cient and specialized algorithms, capable of achieving solutions that can be tested by the biological community. Indeed the ultimate goal is to - plement algorithms capable of extracting real features from real biological data sets. Therefore the workshop aims to present recent research results, including signi?cant work in progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics, WABI 2005, held in Mallorca, Spain, in September 2005 as part of the ALGO 2005 conference meetings. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. All current issues of algorithms in bioinformatics are addressed with special focus on statistical and probabilistic algorithms in the field of molecular and structural biology. The papers are organized in topical sections on expression (hybrid methods and time patterns), phylogeny (quartets, tree reconciliation, clades and haplotypes), networks, genome rearrangements (transposition model and other models), sequences (strings, multi-alignment and clustering, clustering and representation), and structure (threading and folding).
