An Introduction to Biological Networks and Methods for their Analysis

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c86054) has announced the
addition of "Analysis of Biological Networks" to their offering.

Analysis of Biological Networks is the first book of its kind to
provide readers with a comprehensive introduction to the structural
analysis of biological networks at the interface of biology and
computer science. The book begins with a brief overview of biological
networks and graph theory/graph algorithms and goes on to explore:
global network properties, network centralities, network motifs,
network clustering, Petri nets, signal transduction and gene
regulation networks, protein interaction networks, metabolic networks,
phylogenetic networks, ecological networks, and correlation networks.

Analysis of Biological Networks is a self-contained introduction
to this important research topic, assumes no expert knowledge in
computer science or biology, and is accessible to professionals and
students alike. Each chapter concludes with a summary of main points
and with exercises for readers to test their understanding of the
material presented. Additionally, an FTP site with links to
author-provided data for the book is available for deeper study.

This book is suitable as a resource for researchers in computer
science, biology, bioinformatics, advanced biochemistry, and the life
sciences, and also serves as an ideal reference text for
graduate-level courses in bioinformatics and biological research.
