Add to basketPaperback. "Sequence and Genome Analysis: Methods and Applications II" is a continuation of our previous book, entitled "Sequence and Genome Analysis: Methods and Applications." Chapter 1 covers several aspects of protein structural motifs, including the procedures and approaches for detecting and associating protein structural motifs to functions, as well as the issues and limitations of the methodologies based on 3D motif for function prediction. Chapter 2 proposes a computationally efficient algorithm for identifying structural motifs. This algorithm considers the dynamic nature of the folding process, captures both local and non-local interactions between residues, and identifies structural motifs in a 3D space. Chapter 3 discusses the Watson-Crick finite automata. Watson-Crick automata are devices with two reading heads that can scan the two strands of a DNA molecule and decide whether or not the molecule is acceptable. They are essential in the field of DNA computing and have an important role in formal language and automata theory. Chapter 4 introduces logoBar, which is a means for annotating and displaying protein sequence logos. Protein sequence logos represent information content matrices of stretches of conserved DNA or protein sequences using a paradigm, in which the height of letters represents the information contribution of each residue in a sequence alignment. Chapter 5 presents an extraction and visualization method of anatomic structures from volumetric medical images, using a new level set method and hybrid rendering technique. The extraction of 3D objects and its visualization is one of the most important steps in the analysis of the preprocessed medical image data. Such data can help in performing diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment delivery. Chapter 6 takes viral channel forming proteins as an example to outline computational strategies in developing structurally and functionally optimized models (with a minimum input of experimental results), with the aim of understanding the function of a particular protein. Chapter 7 studies hydrophobicity, a topic that has long been considered as one of the primary driving forces in the folding of proteins. This chapter focuses on statistical methods based on factor analysis and filtering to extract cluster-dependent average hydrophobicity profiles in an aligned family of proteins. Meanwhile, Chapter 8 addresses surface-based DNA computing by proposing an algorithm, which can solve a hard computational problem, namely, the Satisfiability problem. This problem is well-known for its exponential difficulty. Chapter 9 introduces a software architecture called GAMESSP2, which is used for protein secondary structure prediction. SSP2 is an abstract software architecture that follows the guidelines imposed by all information sources deemed relevant in implementing a successful secondary structure predictor. GAME stands for Generic Architecture Based on Multiple Expert, and is a tool for designing, implementing, and tuning secondary structure predictors. Finally, Chapter 10 describes an electrical model for fast DNA detection. This model can achieve a resolution of 0.01% for the capacitive shift, using a differential reading of the signals detected by two sensors, namely, a dummy sensor and an active sensor. Similar to Volume I, this volume is suitable for advanced undergraduate students and postgraduate students. It takes a practical approach rather than a conceptual approach. Moreover, it offers a truly reader-friendly way to get to the subject related to bioinformatics and biotechnology, making it the ideal resource for any student new to this subject, and providing a definitive guide to anyone in this vibrant and evolving discipline. This book is an invaluable companion for students, from their first encounter with the subject to more advanced studies, wh Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

If you cancel 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 cancel with 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.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or CitiRetail, ABC Books c/o International Logistics, Unit 2D Gatwick Gate Industrial Estate, RH11 0TG, Lowfield Heath, United Kingdom, 44 020 3290 3457, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of cancellation
