nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is intended to be the first volume in a series of books, 'Lessons in Bioinformatics', on fundamental concepts and methods in bioinformatics. Each book will focus on a single topic, which is explained in a comprehensive and detailed, yet easy-to-read, format. The books are primarily addressed towards beginner bioinformaticians who are building up a broad base of knowledge and skills. Previous knowledge of bioinformatics is not assumed, so everything covered in this text should be easy to understand even if it is the first book you read on bioinformatics.The current volume covers the topic of dot plots, starting with a basic introduction to what dot plots are and how a simple dot matrix is generated. The text thereafter gradually progresses towards more advanced methods with numerous examples explaining each new concept that is introduced, for example, the use of sliding windows and substitution matrices. It shows how dot plots can be used to identify inserts and deletes, repeat regions, compositional bias, and domain structure in protein sequences.When applied to the study of genome sequences, the algorithms used by modern dot plot software are more complex, since analysis of very long sequences - consisting of up to hundreds of millions or even a few billion symbols - is far too slow unless the algorithms are cleverly designed to be very fast. Recently published dot plot software for genome sequence analysis therefore relies on advanced concepts such as position trees, suffix arrays and minimizers. The book attempts to explain these algorithmic ideas in a reasonably easy way, to make them accessible to readers regardless of academic background.The final chapters of the book present application examples from research articles and show step-by-step how the dot plots shown in the journal articles can be reproduced by the reader. At the very end, the final chapter gives an overview of the history of research on dot plot algorithms, from the 1970s to the present day. This gives a historical perspective of how algorithms have advanced from the time when short sequences of a few hundred symbols were painstakingly analyzed by the slow computers of that time, or even by hand with pen and paper, to the powerful dot plot tools used today, that can compare medium-sized genomes in a matter of seconds or two eukaryote genomes containing over a billion symbols in a few minutes.If you find this book useful, then look out for upcoming titles in the same series, 'Lessons in Bioinformatics', which are intended to cover the fundamental topics that every bioinformatician should master.…

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
