"Parallel Computing for Bioinformatics" is the first book to deal with the topic of parallel computing and bioinformatics. Written by renowned experts and well-reputed researchers in this emerging field, it provides an opportunity for researchers to explore the rich and complex subject of "Bioinformatics". The book presents case studies that deal with a variety of difficult problems in Bioinformatics, and how parallel computing is used to produce better results in a more efficient manner with faster rates of computation, therefore enabling more complex bioinformatics applications and larger and richer data sets. With a mixture of algorithmics, experiments, and simulations, this title offers not only qualitative but also quantitative insights into the rich field of bioinformatics.
