Genome Exploitation: Data Mining the Genome is developed from the 23rd Stadler Genetic Symposium. This volume discusses and illustrates how scientists are going to characterize and make use of the massive amount of information being accumulated about the plant and animal genomes. Genome Exploitation: Data Mining the Genome is a state-of-the-art picture on mining the Genome databases. This is one of the few times that researchers in both plants and animals will be working together to create a seminal data resource.

Klappentext
Data Mining the Genomes, is the 23rd volume of the Stadler Symposia series published by Springer, which have served over many years as a comprehensive collection of current trends and emerging hot topics in the field of genetics. Data Mining the Genomes summarizes the progress in bioinformatics and computational biology in data mining the vast amount of exciting information emerging from studies of plant and animal genomes, with authoritative analytical reviews specialized enough to be attractive to professional researchers, yet also appealing to the wider audience of scientists in related disciplines. Data Mining the Genomes offers an essential reference material for any scientist or teacher working in the fields of bioinformatics, genomics, and genetics. All academics, scientists, and industry professionals wishing to take advantage of the latest and greatest in the continuously emerging field of bioinformatics will find it an invaluable resource. Key features: Comprehensive coverage of current topics Chapters authored by the key stars in the field Accessible utility in a single volume reference About the Editors: Perry Gustafson, PhD and Randy Shoemaker, PhD are Research Geneticists with the USDA-ARS, with Dr. Gustafson at the University of Missouri, Columbia and Dr. Shoemaker at Iowa State University, Ames. John Snape, PhD is a Research Geneticist at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, England. Collectively, Drs. Gustafson, Shomeaker, and Snape are associate editors on several international journals as well as having published numerous articles, review articles, and book chapters, in the field of genetics.
