This volume is a senior undergraduate-or graduate-level textbook on bioinformatics,
which also can be treated as a short monograph. It is focused on
the mathematical and computer-science background of bioinformatics. However,
each method is developed with attention to the biological problem that
inspired it. The material covered includes widely used and well-developed applications
in genomics and proteomics. Some important parts of the book are
problems to be solved and a thorough bibliography. The book is composed of
two parts: I, Mathematical and Computational Methods, and II, Applications.
