Description

Market_Desc: This new edition is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate school students taking an introductory bioinformatics courses, as well as professionals in genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and computational biology. According to a Science review of a previous edition, this book should be in the personal library of any biologist who uses the Internet for the analysis of DNA and protein sequence data and is invaluable to beginners and seasoned researchers alike. Special Features: · Complete, expert coverage of key principles as well as the state-of-the-art in bioinformatics· All new chapters on: Genome Annotation, Genomic Databases, Predictive Methods Using RNA Sequences, Protein Structure Prediction, and Protein-Protein Interactions· Fully redesigned, appealing design with full color throughout and larger trim size· Reorganization of chapters into five main sections following a clear, logical sequence· Inclusion of greatly expanded and more rigorous problem sets· Special boxes highlighting experimental strategies and limitations· More diagrams and flowcharts to reinforce the main text· Enhanced use of real examples· written by the top scientists in the field of bioinformatics, [this book] is the perfect choice for every molecular biology laboratory --Quarterly Review of Biology (2/e)· No background in computer science or mathematics assumed About The Book: This fully revised third edition to an already classic resource provides readers with a practical guide covering the full scope of key concepts in bioinformatics, from databases to predictive and comparative algorithms. With a new full-color, enlarged page design, this edition offers the most readable, up-to-date, and thorough introduction to the field for biologists. All new features include special boxes, enhanced use of real examples, and expanded problem sets with answers provided on the book's dedicated website (www.wiley.com/bioinformatics). A glossary and appendix of sample file formats rounds out the book's reader-friendly, 'hands-on' treatment.The chapters have been reorganized into a more logical flow, with five main sections and a concluding section offering a primer on the use of Perl. Following the editors' introduction and perspective on why bioinformatics is important.
