Eigenvectors of graph Laplacians have not, to date, been the subject of expository articles and thus they may seem a surprising topic for a book. The authors propose two motivations for this new LNM volume: (1) There are fascinating subtle differences between the properties of solutions of Schrodinger equations on manifolds on the one hand, and their discrete analogs on graphs. (2) Geometric properties of (cost) functions defined on the vertex sets of graphs are of practical interest for heuristic optimization algorithms. The observation that the cost functions of quite a few of the...

This volume contains the accepted full papers and extended abstracts of the 5th Brazilian Symposium on Bioinformatics held in Bu zios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from August 31 to September 3, 2010. The ?rstthree meetings ofthis series, which took place2002,2003, and 2004, were called WOB (Workshop on Bioinformatics). In 2005, the conference got its current name BSB and has since published its proceedings as a special issue of the series Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (volumes 3594/2005, 4643/2007, 5167/2008, and 5676/2009). Its topics of interest vary in many areas of bioinformatics, including...

This volume provides broad coverage of computational and mathematical techniques and concepts related to the field of comparative genomics. The topics covered in the chapters range from those concerned with general techniques and concepts that apply to all organisms to others that are more specialized, covering specific biological systems such as viruses, Drosophila, and Homo sapiens. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, by authors who are active researchers in the field, many chapters include step-by-step procedures, which...
