Hi everyone. Many bioinformatics courses usually have the same items like matching aligments, genome assembling, sequence alignment, variant calling and so on. But, I am interested in algorithms on which for example BLAST or Artemis works (like choosing primer, finding splicing indexes, find secondary structures of a family of RNA molecules etc).
Could you provide me some books or other sources where I can read about these non-obvious algorithms.
Sorry if my question is silly, I know that I could google every algorithm I want to understand, but it would be better to have 2-3 sources with a good explanation.
Thanks a lot.

Basically, majority of the algorithms in bioinformatics can be found the pdf files as the following:

here are some a few more links:
Course Review: Bioinformatics Algorithms (Part 1) offered by UC San Diego on Coursera
Basic bioinformatics algorithms from Khan Academy
Bioinformatics Algorithms: Techniques and Applications
And in this researchgate thread there are some books uploaded and here are various tests and quizzes from yourhomeworkhelp; check them out, probably there's something you are looking for
Nice try man :P
Here is another option: Algorithms on strings, trees, and sequences

Not sure what you mean by "non-obvious' algorithms.
If you're looking for how specific algorithms (and the programs that implement them) work, you're probably going to have to check out the publication(s) associated with that algorithm/software.
i meant algorithms that usually is not considered in most of bioinfo courses etc (like these what i mentioned). Are there some advanced bioinfo books or tutorials that have such information or i can only look for some publications?
Thanks.
