Description
SPRINGER Modern Genome Annotation The Biosapiens Network 2008 Edition by FRISHMAN DMITRIJ ET.AL
An accurate description of current scientific developments in the field of bioinformatics and computational implementation is presented by research of the BioSapiens Network of Excellence. Bioinformatics is essential for annotating the structure and function of genes, proteins and the analysis of complete genomes and to molecular biology and biochemistry. Included is an overview of bioinformatics, the full spectrum of genome annotation approaches including; genome analysis and gene prediction, gene regulation analysis and expression, genome variation and QTL analysis, large scale protein annotation of function and structure, annotation and prediction of protein interactions, and the organization and annotation of molecular networks and biochemical pathways. Also covered is a technical framework to organize and represent genome data using the DAS technology and work in the annotation of two large genomic sets: HIV/HCV viral genomes and splicing alternatives potentially encoded in 1% of the human genome. -Bioinformatics in Europe and the Biosapiens Network:-Gene definition; State of the art in eukaryotic gene prediction; Quality control of gene predictions:-Gene regulation and expression; Evaluating methods for protein-DNA interactions.
