Ebook: Comparative Genomics: RECOMB 2005 International Workshop, RCG 2005, Dublin, Ireland, September 18-20, 2005. Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the RECOMB 2005 Satellite Workshop, the 3rd RECOMB Comparative Genomics meeting RCG 2005, held in Dublin, Ireland in September 2005.

The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 initial submissions. The papers address a broad variety of aspects and components of the field of comparative genomics, ranging from new quantitative discoveries about genome structure and process to theorems on the complexity of computational problems inspired by genome comparison.
