Here
are the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Algorithms in
Bioinformatics, WABI 2006, held in the course of the ALGO 2006 conference
meetings. The book presents 36 revised full papers addressing all current
issues of algorithms in bioinformatics, from mathematical tools to experimental
studies of approximation algorithms and reports on significant computational
analyses. For the first time, coverage extends to machine-learning approaches
along with combinatorial optimization.
The Workshop on
Algorithms in Bioinformatics covers research on all aspects of algorithmic work
in bioinformatics. The emphasis is on discrete algorithms that address
important problems in molecular biology. These are founded on sound models, are
computationally efficient, and have been implemented and tested in simulations
and on real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including
signficant work in progress, and to identify and explore directions of future
research.
Original
research papers (including significant work in progress) or stateof- the-art
surveys were solicited on all aspects of algorithms in bioinformatics, including,
but not limited to: exact and approximate algorithms for genomics, genetics,
sequence analysis, gene and signal recognition, alignment, molecular evolution,
phylogenetics, structure determination or prediction, gene expression and gene
networks, proteomics, functional genomics, and drug design.
