An Easy-to-Use Research Tool for Algorithm Testing and DevelopmentBefore the SeqAn project, there was clearly a lack of available implementations in sequence analysis, even for standard tasks. Implementations of needed algorithmic components were either unavailable or hard to access in third-party monolithic software products. Addressing these concerns, the developers of SeqAn created a comprehensive, easy-to-use, open source C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of biological sequences. Written by the founders of this project, Biological Sequence Analysis Using the SeqAn C++ Library covers the SeqAn library, its documentation, and the supporting infrastructure.The first part of the book describes the general library design. It introduces biological sequence analysis problems, discusses the benefit of using software libraries, summarizes the design principles and goals of SeqAn, details the main programming techniques used in SeqAn, and demonstrates the application of these techniques in various examples. Focusing on the components provided by SeqAn, the second part explores basic functionality, sequence data structures, alignments, pattern and motif searching, string indices, and graphs. The last part illustrates applications of SeqAn to genome alignment, consensus sequence in assembly projects, suffix array construction, and more.This handy book describes a user-friendly library of efficient data types and algorithms for sequence analysis in computational biology. SeqAn enables not only the implementation of new algorithms, but also the sound analysis and comparison of existing algorithms.Visit SeqAn for more information.

Algorithmen verstehen und in der praktischen Informatik anwenden Dieses Buch führt Sie sachte in die Denkweisen des Fachs »Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen« ein. Es erklärt Informatik-Anfängern Terminologie, Notation und zentrale Inhalte des Fachgebiets auf anschauliche und sehr unterhaltsame Weise. Ein Fokus sind die Techniken und Tricks, die Sie brauchen, um effiziente Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen zu bauen. Sie werden auch in die Lage versetzt, Pseudocode in der typischen akademischen Darstellung zu verstehen und in unterschiedlichen Programmiersprachen zu realisieren oder umgekehrt grundlegende algorithmische Ideen als Pseudocode zu dokumentieren. Sie erfahren Wie man Algorithmen beschreibt und bewertetWie man Daten in Strukturen organisiertWie Sie Sortier-, Optimierungs- und andere Probleme lösenWelche Techniken Ihnen den Entwurf neuer Algorithmen erleichtern
