analysis
Analysis of Biological Networks is the first book of its
kind to provide readers with a comprehensive introduction to the
structural analysis of biological networks at the interface of
biology and computer science. The book begins with a brief overview
of biological networks and graph theory/graph algorithms and goes
on to explore: global network properties, network centralities,
network motifs, network clustering, Petri nets, signal transduction
and gene regulation networks, protein interaction networks,
metabolic networks, phylogenetic networks, ecological networks, and
correlation networks.
Analysis of Biological Networks is a self-contained
introduction to this important research topic, assumes no expert
knowledge in computer science or biology, and is accessible to
professionals and students alike. Each chapter concludes with a
summary of main points and with exercises for readers to test their
understanding of the material presented. Additionally, an FTP site
with links to author-provided data for the book is available for
deeper study.
This book is suitable as a resource for researchers in computer
science, biology, bioinformatics, advanced biochemistry, and the
life sciences, and also serves as an ideal reference text for
graduate-level courses in bioinformatics and biological
research.
Björn H. Junker is a biologist with a strong background in bioinformatics. His current research activities include the quantitative analysis and modeling of metabolic networks, as well as pathway databases and visual data mining. Mr. Junker has been at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research in Germany since 2003. He worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York during 2006 and was appointed as project leader at the Leibniz Institute in 2007. Falk Schreiber is a computer scientist who has worked in bioinformatics for more than ten years. His current research areas include modeling, analysis, and visualization of biological networks; graph algorithms; and data exploration and information visualization in the life sciences. Since 2003, he has been head of the Network Analysis Research Group at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research. He was appointed professor of bioinformatics at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, in 2007.
"This book is a wonderful text for biological network analysis. It
comprehensively presents a numbers of analysis tools and their
applications for understanding real biological problems. This book
is a must-read for entry-level students and researchers, and a
complete reference source for experts." (Computing Reviews,
March 6, 2009)
"This book is an excellent introduction to the analysis of
biological networks. The exercise provided after each chapter
make the book suitable for self-study, and the extensive references
provide the interested reader with good sources for further
reading." (Computing Reviews, August 21, 2008)
