TY - CHAP AU - Christopher Vidal AU - Angela Xuereb Anastasi ED - Xuhua Xia Y1 - 2011-10-21 PY - 2011 T1 - Family Based Studies in Complex Disorders: The Use of Bioinformatics Software for Data Analysis in Studies on Osteoporosis N2 - This book consists of nine chapters covering a variety of bioinformatics subjects, ranging from database resources for protein allergens, unravelling genetic determinants of complex disorders, characterization and prediction of regulatory motifs, computational methods for identifying the best classifiers and key disease genes in large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic experiments, functional characterization of inherently unfolded proteins/regions, protein interaction networks and flexible protein-protein docking. The computational algorithms are in general presented in a way that is accessible to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers in molecular biology and genetics. The book should also serve as stepping stones for mathematicians, biostatisticians, and computational scientists to cross their academic boundaries into the dynamic and ever-expanding field of bioinformatics.
