Moret in this field. Reflecting the wide-ranging influences of Prof. Moret's research, the coverage encompasses such areas as phylogenetic tree and network estimation, genome rearrangements, cancer phylogeny, species trees, divide-and-conquer strategies, and integer linear programming. Each self-contained chapter provides an introduction to a cutting-edge problem of particular computational and mathematical interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics and features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the challenges in developing accurate and efficient software for the NP-hard maximum likelihood phylogeny estimation problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the inference of species trees, covering strategies to scale phylogeny estimation methods to large datasets, and the construction of taxonomic supertrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the inference of ultrametric distances from additive distance matrices, and the inference of ancestral genomes under genome rearrangement events\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews different techniques for inferring evolutionary histories in cancer, from the use of chromosomal rearrangements to tumor phylogenetics approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines problems in phylogenetic networks, including questions relating to discrete mathematics, and issues of statistical estimation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights how evolution can provide a framework within which to understand comparative and functional genomics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides an introduction to Integer Linear Programming and its use in computational biology, including its use for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering an invaluable source of insights for computer scientists, applied mathematicians, and statisticians, this illuminating volume will also prove useful for graduate courses on computational biology and bioinformatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Tandy Warnow\u003c\/b\u003e is the Founder Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she is also an affiliate in the departments of Mathematics, Statistics, Bioengineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Animal Biology, Entomology, and Plant Biology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277202022551,"sku":"9783030108366","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030108366.webp?v=1769287761","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bioinformatics-and-phylogenetics-seminal-contributions-of-bernard-moret-9783030108366","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
