The book covers bioinformatics methods at a level more advanced than most other bioinformatics books, the extensive numerical illustration of these methods should make it accessible to most senior undergraduate students and graduate students majoring in science and software engineering. An additional advantage of using it as a text book is that nearly all algorithms in the book are implemented in a free and user friendly computer program.
