Critics Review

“The structure of the book mirrors the learning steps for understanding how to perform gene finding. … Its target audience is mainly post-graduate researchers or established researchers with a background in mathematics or statistics applied in bioinformatics who need a thorough yet concise overview of this field.” (Irina Ioana Mohorianu, zbMATH 1350.92001, 2017)

“It skillfully introduces readers to a difficult subject, while at the same time motivating them to enter this very important area. … It is best suited for a graduate course or as an introduction for researchers not familiar with this field. … this is an excellent introduction to comparative gene finding. … I especially recommend this book to any computer scientist with an interest in current problems in bioinformatics.” (Burkhard Englert, Computing Reviews, December, 2015)
