This book provides the rst unied, up-to-date, and tutorial-level overview of sequenceĪnalysis methods, with particular emphasis on probabilistic modelling. Of sequence families, and the inference of phylogenetic trees using maximum likelihood

Hidden Markov models as the basis for prole searches to identify distant members Examples of such methods include the use of probabilisticallyĭerived score matrices to determine the signicance of sequence alignments, the use of Many of the most powerful sequence analysis methods are now based on principles

Research area of computational molecular biology, or bioinformatics. Of biological sequences are driving forward the newly-created and explosively expanding Understand the data is becoming ever more pressing. Human Genome Project which are producing an immense amount of data. The face of biology has been changed by the emergence of modern molecular genetics.Īmong the most exciting advances are large-scale DNA sequencing efforts such as the Probabilistic models of proteins and nucleic acids
