Summary
Decoding the Language of Life: DNA, Words, and Statistical Models
An important challenge in computational biology is pinpointing short DNA sequences, known as ‘words,’ that are linked to specific biological functions. One key method involves distinguishing between random occurrences and statistically significant words, based on factors like frequency or location.
This book dives into the mathematical and statistical concepts essential for tackling this “exceptional word prob…

Critics Review
‘For statisticians with a little background in biology, this book delivers a very readable presentation on the analysis of DNA sequences to determine whether a motif is of statistical significance due to its overabundance (or under-abundance) in terms of frequencies or location. This book is concise but sufficiently detailed. Biologists without a background in mathematical statistics may find the learning curve a little steep but tractable. The authors’ continuous use of practical examples will be greatly appreciate by biologists and statisticians alike. This book is one of a kind, and I recommend it to any statistician interested in learning about DNA sequences and motifs.’ Journal of the American Statistical Association
