Guiding readers from the elucidation and analysis of a genomic
sequence to the prediction of a protein structure and the
identification of the molecular function, Introduction to
Bioinformatics describes the rationale and limitations of the
bioinformatics methods and tools that can help solve biological
problems. Requiring only a limited mathematical and statistical
background, the book shows how to efficiently apply these
approaches to biological data and evaluate the resulting
information.
The author, an expert bioinformatics researcher, first addresses
the ways of storing and retrieving the enormous amount of
biological data produced every day and the methods of decrypting
the information encoded by a genome. She then covers the tools that
can detect and exploit the evolutionary and functional
relationships among biological elements. Subsequent chapters
illustrate how to predict the three-dimensional structure of a
protein. The book concludes with a discussion of the future of
bioinformatics.
Even though the future will undoubtedly offer new tools for
tackling problems, most of the fundamental aspects of
bioinformatics will not change. This resource provides the
essential information to understand bioinformatics methods,
ultimately facilitating in the solution of biological problems.
