Bioinformatics Algorithms: Techniques and Applications

by Ion Mandoiu (Editor), Alexander Zelikovsky

Presents algorithmic techniques for solving problems in bioinformatics, including applications that shed new light on molecular biology This book introduces algorithmic techniques in bioinformatics, emphasizing their application to solving novel problems in post-genomic molecular biology. Beginning with a thought-provoking discussion on the role of algorithms in twenty-first-century bioinformatics education, Bioinformatics Algorithms Each chapter begins with a self-contained introduction to a computational problem; continues with a brief review of the existing literature on the subject and an in-depth description of recent algorithmic and methodological developments; and concludes with a brief experimental study and a discussion of open research challenges. This clear and approachable presentation makes the book appropriate for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students alike.

Well, this books has a little less friendly approach to bionformatics than some other books that I have read.
It does not explain clearly, why some things are done and you must already know what you want to do and why you want to do that. In this case, this book is really useful, because it has many clear and detailed pseudocodes of many many many algorithms.
So if you are working on some project and you need the some review of used application, this books is for you.
