Algorithms for Next-Generation Sequencing

<p>Advances in sequencing technology have allowed scientists to study the human genome in greater depth and on a larger scale than ever before – as many as hundreds of millions of short reads in the course of a few days. But what are the best ways to deal with this flood of data?</p><p></p><p><em>Algorithms for Next-Generation Sequencing</em> is an invaluable tool for students and researchers in bioinformatics and computational biology biologists seeking to process and manage the data generated by next-generation sequencing and as a textbook or a self-study resource. In addition to offering an in-depth description of the algorithms for processing sequencing data it also presents useful case studies describing the applications of this technology.</p>
