Combinatorial Pattern Matching Algorithms in Computational Biology
Using Perl and R
Gabriel Valiente, Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain
Publication Date: April 2009
Number of Pages: 368
Emphasizing the search for patterns within and between biological
sequences, trees, and graphs, this book shows how combinatorial
pattern matching algorithms can solve computational biology problems
that arise in the analysis of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic,
metabolomic, and interactomic data. It implements the algorithms in
Perl and R, two widely used scripting languages in computational
biology. The book supplies a comprehensive view of the whole field of
combinatorial pattern matching from a computational biology
perspective. Along with thorough discussions of each biological
problem, it includes detailed algorithmic solutions in pseudo-code,
full Perl and R implementation, and pointers to other software, such
as those on CPAN and CRAN.

Gene Expression Studies Using Affymetrix Microarrays
Hinrich Gohlmann and Willem Talloen, Johnson & Johnson, Beerse,
Belgium
Publication Date: June 2009
Number of Pages: 359
The Affymetrix GeneChip? system is one of the most widely adapted
microarray platforms. However, due to the overwhelming amount of
information available, many Affymetrix users tend to stick to the
default analysis settings and may end up drawing sub-optimal
conclusions. Written by a molecular biologist and a biostatistician
with a combined decade of experience in practical expression profiling
experiments and data analyses, Gene Expression Studies Using
Affymetrix Microarrays tears down the omnipresent language barriers
among molecular biology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics by
explaining the entire process of a gene expression study from
conception to conclusion.

Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation Using R
Owen Jones, Robert Maillardet and Andrew Robinson, University of
Melbourne, Parkville, Australia
Publication Date: March 2009
Number of Pages: 472
This book teaches the skills needed to perform scientific programming
while also introducing stochastic modelling. Stochastic modelling in
particular, and mathematical modelling in general, are intimately
linked to scientific programming because the numerical techniques of
scientific programming enable the practical application of
mathematical models to real-world problems. Assuming no prior
knowledge of programming or probability, the book is organised into
four main sections, covering Programming in R, A primer on numerical
mathematics, A self-contained introduction to probability theory and
Simulation. Unlike most guides to R, this volume is not about the
application of statistical techniques, but rather shows how to turn
algorithms into code. It is for those who want to make tools, not just
use them.

Hidden Markov Models for Time Series: An Introduction Using R
Walter Zucchini, University of Gottingen, Germany and Iain L.
MacDonald, University of Cape Town, South Africa
Publication Date: April 2009
Number of Pages: 288
This book applies hidden Markov models (HMMs) to a wide range of time
series types, from continuous-valued, circular, and multivariate
series to binary data, bounded and unbounded counts, and categorical
observations. It also discusses how to employ the freely available
computing environment R to carry out computations for parameter
estimation, model selection and checking, decoding, and forecasting.
After presenting the simple Poisson HMM, the book covers estimation,
forecasting, decoding, prediction, model selection, and Bayesian
inference. Through examples and applications, the authors describe how
to extend and generalize the basic model so it can be applied in a
rich variety of situations. They also provide R code for some of the
examples, enabling the use of the codes in similar applications.
