ABOUT THE AUTHOR David W. Mount is Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Director of Bioinformatics at the Arizona Cancer and the Southwest Environmental Sciences Center at the University of Arizona. In addition to bioinformatics research, he also has laboratory experience in genetics, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology. Bioinformatics: Sequence and Genome Analysis, Second Edition, is based on a course he teaches at the University of Arizona and on his research at the University of Arizona.

ABOUT THIS BOOK Computational analysis of the data generated by genome sequencing, proteomics, and array-based technologies is critically important. The second edition of Bioinformatics: Sequence and Genome Analysis provides comprehensive instruction in computational methods for analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein data, with explanations of the underlying algorithms, the advantages and limitations of each method, and strategies for their application to biological problems. The previous edition of this textbook, based on the pioneering couse given at the University of Arizona by the author, David W. Mount, was the first to be widely adopted for course use around the world. The second edition has been extensively revised, with guidance provided by experienced instructors, to maximize its value for both undergraduate and graduate level teaching.
