Literature:

  • BV: Brejová, Vinař: Metódy v bioinformatike. (preliminary version of lecture notes in Slovak, only several lectures)
  • DEKM: Durbin, Eddy, Krogh, Mitchison: Biological sequence analysis: Probabilistic Models of Proteins and Nucleic Acids. Cambridge University Press 1998. Can be studied in the FMFI library under code I-INF-D-21
  • ZB: Zvelebil, Baum: Understanding Bioinformatics. Taylor & Francis 2008. Can be studied in the FMFI library under code I-INF-Z-2

For each lecture, we list book chapters best corresponding to the covered material. However, the lecture may differ substantially from the listed chapters which serve as the source of additional information.
