Description

Discover how to streamline complex bioinformatics
applications with parallel computing

This publication enables readers to handle more complex bioinformatics
applications and larger and richer data sets. As the editor clearly shows,
using powerful parallel computing tools can lead to significant breakthroughs
in deciphering genomes, understanding genetic disease, designing customized
drug therapies, and understanding evolution.
A broad range of bioinformatics applications is covered with demonstrations
on how each one can be parallelized to improve performance and gain faster
rates of computation. Current parallel computing techniques and technologies
are examined, including distributed computing and grid computing. Readers are
provided with a mixture of algorithms, experiments, and simulations that
provide not only qualitative but also quantitative insights into the dynamic
field of bioinformatics.
Parallel Computing for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is a
contributed work that serves as a repository of case studies, collectively
demonstrating how parallel computing streamlines difficult problems in
bioinformatics and produces better results. Each of the chapters is authored
by an established expert in the field and carefully edited to ensure a
consistent approach and high standard throughout the publication.
The work is organized into five parts:

Algorithms and models
Sequence analysis and microarrays
Phylogenetics
Protein folding
Platforms and enabling technologies
Researchers, educators, and students in the field of bioinformatics will
discover how high-performance computing can enable them to handle more complex
data sets, gain deeper insights, and make new discoveries.
