Data Mining for Bioinformatics presents a unified documentary reference of algorithms and methodologies of data mining that have been proposed and applied to problems in the arena of bioinformatics. It covers key research outcomes in the area of data mining and their applications to bioinformatics, including discussions on the theories and principles of data mining, design methodology data-intensive computational challenges and presentation of algorithms. Taking discussion from journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, keynote presentations, and published books, it does not cover techniques that have not been successfully modeled for bioinformatics applications.
