SynopsisGuided by standard bioscience workflows in high-throughput sequencing analysis, this book for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in bioinformatics and computer science offers a unified presentation of genome-scale algorithms. This new edition covers the use of minimizers and other advanced data structures in pangenomics approaches., Presenting the fundamental algorithms and data structures that power bioinformatics workflows, this book covers a range of topics from the foundations of sequence analysis (alignments and hidden Markov models) to classical index structures (k-mer indexes, suffix arrays, and suffix trees), Burrows-Wheeler indexes, graph algorithms, network flows, and a number of advanced omics applications. The chapters feature numerous examples, algorithm visualizations, and exercises, providing graduate students, researchers, and practitioners with a powerful algorithmic toolkit for the applications of high-throughput sequencing. An accompanying website (www.genome-scale.info) offers supporting teaching material. The second edition strengthens the toolkit by covering minimizers and other advanced data structures and their use in emerging pangenomics approaches.
