Literatur

Discussions in the literature will go into more details / depth compared to lecture! Reading the book by Durbin in full is, however, a very good idea for anyone in computational biology / bioinformatics.

Durbin, Eddy, Krogh, Mitchison. Biological sequence analysis. Chapter: 3. Markov chains and hidden Markov models ; 5. Profile HMMs for sequence families ; 9. Transformational grammars ; 10. RNA structure analysis
Information on stochastic context-free grammars, Hidden-Markov models, covariance models, inside-outside algorithms
