Sequence Data Mining

Sequence Data Mining
Publisher: Springer | Language: English | ISBN: 0387699368 | 152 pages | Data: 2007 | PDF | 1.3 Mb

Description: Hormonal carcinogenesis is an important and controversial area of current research. In addition to accelerating existing cancers, can hormones play the role of primary carcinogens? How do genetic factors influence hormone-related cancer risk? Hormones, Genes, and Cancer addresses these questions. Over the past few decades, cancer research has focused on external environmental causes(e.g., tobacco smoke, viruses, asbestos). With the advent of new genetic sequencing techniques, we are just now beginning to understand how the body's internal environment(i.e., the hormones and growth factors that determine normal development) influences cancer etiology and prevention. From molecular insights to clinical analyses, this volume provides state-of-the-art information on the complex interactions between hormones and genes and cancer. The epidemiology and molecular endocrinology of prostate, breast, uterine, ovarian and testicular cancer are detailed in this timely treatise.

Genetic Programming Theory and Practice IV (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)

Rick Riolo, Terence Soule , Bill Worzel, "Genetic Programming Theory and Practice IV (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)"
Springer; 1 edition (March 2007) | ISBN:0387333754 | 338 pages | PDF | 17,7 Mb

Genetic Programming Theory and Practice IV was developed from the fourth workshop at the University of Michigan’s Center for the Study of Complex Systems to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information related to the rapidly advancing field of Genetic Programming (GP). Contributions from the foremost international researchers and practitioners in the GP arena examine the similarities and differences between theoretical and empirical results on real-world problems. The text explores the synergy between theory and practice, producing a comprehensive view of the state of the art in GP application.

This volume represents a watershed moment in the GP field in that GP has begun to move from hand-crafted software used primarily in academic research, to an engineering methodology applied to commercial applications. It is a unique and indispensable tool for academics, researchers and industry professionals involved in GP, evolutionary computation, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Classification and Learning Using Genetic Algorithms: Applications in Bioinformatics and Web Intelligence

Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay, Sankar K. Pal , "Classification and Learning Using Genetic Algorithms: Applications in Bioinformatics and Web Intelligence "
Springer; 1 edition (May 2007) | ISBN: 3540496068 | 311 pages | PDF | 6 Mb

This book provides a unified framework that describes how genetic learning can be used to design pattern recognition and learning systems. The book is unique in the sense of describing how a search technique, the genetic algorithm, can be used for pattern classification mainly through approximating decision boundaries, and it demonstrates the effectiveness of the genetic classifiers vis-à-vis several widely used classifiers, including neural networks. It provides a balanced mixture of theories, algorithms and applications, and in particular results from the bioinformatics and Web intelligence domains.

This book will be useful to graduate students and researchers in computer science, electrical engineering, systems science, and information technology, both as a text and reference book. Researchers and practitioners in industry working in system design, control, pattern recognition, data mining, soft computing, bioinformatics and Web intelligence will also benefit.

Foundations of Comparative Genomics

Foundations of Comparative Genomics
Academic Press | ISBN: 0120887940 | Edition - 2007-03-30 | PDF | 280 pages | 2.4 MB | rapidshare

This book provides an overview of computational analysis of genes and genomes, and of some most notable findings that come out of this work. Foundations of Comparative Genomics presents a historical perspective, beginning with early analysis of individual gene sequences, to present day comparison of gene repertoires encoded by completely sequenced genomes. The author discusses the underlying scientific principles of comparative genomics, argues that completion of many genome sequences started a new era in biology, and provides a personal view on several state-of-the-art issues, such as systems biology and whole-genome phylogenetic reconstructions. This book is an essential reference for researchers and students in computational biology, evolutionary biology, and genetics.

* Presents an historic overview of genome biology and its achievements
* Includes topics not covered in other books such as minimal and ancestral genomes
* Discusses the evolutionary resilience of protein-coding genes and frequent functional convergence at the molecular level
* Critically reviews horizontal gene transfer and other contentious issues
* Covers comparative virology as a somewhat overlooked foundation of modern genome science
