Chapter 1: Simple String Search (407k)

Efficient computer programs have made it possible to elucidate and analyze large-scale genomic sequences. Fundamental tasks, such as the assembly of numerous whole-genome shotgun fragments, the alignment of complementary DNA sequences with a long genome, and the design of gene-specific primers or oligomers, require efficient algorithms and state-of-the-art implementation techniques. This textbook emphasizes basic software implementation techniques for processing large-scale genome sequences and provides executable sample programs.

 
Contents:
  • Simple String Search
  • Sorting
  • Lookup Tables
  • Suffix Arrays
  • Space-Efficient String Search
  • Approximate String Search
  • Seeded Alignments
  • Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing
 
Readership: Course textbook for advanced undergraduate students in computer science and biology; biotechnology and computer industry and non-experts interested in advanced genome processing algorithms.
