Comparative Genomics: International Workshop, RECOMB-CG 2010, Ottawa, Canada, October 9-11, 2010, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) Feature

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th RECOMB International Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics, RECOMB-CG 2010, Ottawa, Canada, in October 2010. This workshop is devoted to bringing together scientists working on all aspects of comparative genomics, from computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians working on novel computational approaches for genome analysis and comparison, to biologists applying these computational tools to study the structure and the evolution of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. The 24 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers enrich the combinatorics of genome rearrangements, while gene order phylogenies are getting more and more accurate, thanks to a mixing of combinatorial and statistical principles, associated with rapid and thoughtful heuristics. Several papers tend to refine the models of genome evolution, and more and more genomic events can be modelized, from single nucleotide substitutions in whole genome alignments to large structural mutations or horizontal gene transfers.

Crystal Engineering: From Molecules and Crystals to Materials (NATO Science Series C: (closed)) Feature

Crystal engineering is an interdisciplinary area that cuts across the traditional subdivisions of chemistry. Fuelled by our increasingly precise understanding of the chemistry and properties of supramolecular systems, interest in the potential of the field has increased rapidly. The topics discussed in the 28 contributions in this book provide a state-of-the-art description of the field and offer new research ideas that, if pursued, will serve to strengthen the field at the interface between supramolecular chemistry and materials science.
