Bücher der Reihe Series On Advances In Bioinformatics And Computational Biology

Presents the important skills for those who want to do quantitative analysis on biological data, especially for high-throughput omics data. This book covers: essential knowledge and skills necessary to use a Linux computer; write programs in Perl, and the use of BioPerl to write bioinformatics Perl programs; and write programs in R.

This book demonstrates the power of mathematical thinking in understanding the biological complexity that exists within the brain. It looks at the latest research on modelling of biochemical pathways within synapses, and provides a clear background for the study of mathematical models related to systems biology. Discussion then focusses on developments in computational models based on networks linked to synaptic plasticity. The models are used to understand memory formation and impairment and they provide a mathematical basis for memory research.Computational Systems Biology of Synaptic Plasticity is a valuable source of knowledge to postgraduate students and researchers in computational systems biology, and as a reference book for various techniques that are needed in modelling biological processes.
