Algorithms in Bioinformatics: 5th International Workshop, WABI 2005, Mallorca, Spain, October 3-6, 2005, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics, WABI 2005, held in Mallorca, Spain, in September 2005 as part of the ALGO 2005 conference meetings.

The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. All current issues of algorithms in bioinformatics are addressed with special focus on statistical and probabilistic algorithms in the field of molecular and structural biology. The papers are organized in topical sections on expression (hybrid methods and time patterns), phylogeny (quartets, tree reconciliation, clades and haplotypes), networks, genome rearrangements (transposition model and other models), sequences (strings, multi-alignment and clustering, clustering and representation), and structure (threading and folding).
