Algorithms on Strings, Trees and Sequences: Computer Science and Computational Biology

Algorithms on Strings, Trees and Sequences: Computer Science and Computational Biology
String algorithms are a traditional area of study in computer science. In recent years their importance has grown dramatically with the huge increase of electronically stored text and of molecular sequence data produced by various genome projects. This book explains a wide range of computer methods for string processing. It also contains extensive discussions on biological problems that are cast as string problems, and on techniques to solve them. The book is both a reference for computer scientists and computer-oriented professionals in biology and bio-informatics and a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on string algorithms and on computational biology.

Customer Review: phenomenal

This book is absolutely excellent. Gusfield walks the reader from simple concepts in string matching through advanced in a way that I found very easy to follow. Every bioinformatics researcher should have copy of this text.

Customer Review: Well Written Text Book

A well written text book with an obvious bias to biological application, but maybe most useful for its clear explanation and rigour of string algorithms.
