Bioinformatics
A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins
Second Edition

Edited by
Andreas D. Baxevanis
B. F. Francis Ouellette

 

 


 

"provides a broad overview of the basic tools for sequence analysis....For biologists approaching this subject for the first time, it will be a very useful handbook to keep on the shelf after the first reading, close to the computer."

-Nature Structural Biology

"should be in the personal library of any biologist who uses the Internet for the analysis of DNA and protein sequence data"

-Science

"a useful resource to help biologists extract the maximum value from their data"

-Cell

"…a wonderful primer designed to navigate the novice through the intricacies of in scipto analysis….The accomplished gene searcher will also find this book a useful addition to their library….an excellent reference to the principles of bioinformatics."

-Trends in Biochemical Sciences

"a nice overview of...bioinformatics that is suitable for both the neophyte and those experienced in the field….With the wide variety of topics covered, this book is one that should be included in the collection of anyone involved with the emerging field of bioinformatics."

-Biotech Software and Internet Report


Computational tools and approaches are being utilized to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyze, and visualize biological data. Bioinformatics will spur critical advances in the understanding of basic biological processes and the identification of disease genes, towards the ultimate goal of designing new and improved drug therapies. Universities are recognizing the importance of these endeavors and are establishing programs in bioinformatics that draw upon diverse disciplines, in particular molecular biology and computer science.

The new edition of Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins offers a sound foundation of basic concepts and a thorough introduction to computational tools and databases relevant to biological research. It covers the broad spectrum of topics in bioinformatics, from Internet concepts to predictive algorithms used on sequence, structure, and expression data. This supplementary website provides answers to end-of-chapter problem sets, links to web resources, and downloadable color figures from the book.
