Modern genome annotation

"This overview of Bioinformatics presents a broad spectrum of genome annotation approaches, from gene prediction, genome variation and QTL analysis to large scale prediction of protein function and structure, annotation and prediction of protein interactions, and the organization and annotation of molecular networks and biochemical pathways. This book also covers the current status of DAS technology, the most common framework for the organization and representation of genome data. Finally, examples of the application of Bioinformatics to complex biological problems are given: the comparative analysis of viral genomes, and the investigation of the potential consequences of splicing at the protein level in the context of the ENCODE project."--Jacket.
