Bayesian Modeling in Bioinformatics

This volume discusses the development and application of Bayesian statistical methods for the analysis of high-throughput bioinformatics data arising from problems in molecular and structural biology and disease-related medical research, such as cancer. It presents a broad overview of statistical inference, clustering, and classification problems in two main high-throughput platforms: microarray gene expression and phylogenic analysis. Illustrating concepts using real-world data, the book covers a variety of recently developed Bayesian techniques, along with applications in genome-wide studies, phylogenetics, breast cancer, expression genomics, and more.
