《生物信息学中的数学方法引论(影印版)》的特色之一就是没有对所有的生物信息学问题进行泛泛的介绍,而是选择了生物信息学中核心问题之一——序列分析作为《生物信息学中的数学方法引论(影印版)》的主要内容。由于缩小了范围,作者可以在有限的篇幅中更详尽的介绍序列分析的各种数学模型和算法。 This book looks at the mathematical foundations of the modelscurrently in use. This is crucial for the correct interpretation of theoutputs of the models. A bioinformatician should be able not onlyto use software packages, but also to know the mathematics behindthese packages. From this point of view, mathematics departmentsthroughout the world have a major role to play in bioinformaticseducation by teaching courses on the mathematical foundations ofthe subject. Based on the courses taught by the author the bookcombines several topics in biological sequence analysis withmathematical and statistical material required for such analysis.
