The application of computational methods to DNA and protein science
is a new and exciting development in biology. Bioinformatics:
Sequence and Genome Analysis is a comprehensive introduction to
this emerging field of study. The book has many unique and valuable
features:
-- It is written for any biologist who wants to understand methods
of sequence and structure analysis and how the necessary computer
programs work
-- Sequence alignment, structure prediction, phylogenetic and gene
prediction, database searching, and genome analysis are clearly
explained and amply illustrated
-- Underlying algorithms and assumptions are clearly explained for
the non-specialist
-- Examples are presented in simple numerical terms rather than
complex formulas and notation
-- Theoretical underpinnings are linked to biological problems and
their solutions
-- Extensive tables provide descriptions and Web sources for a
broad range of publicly available software
-- An associated Website (www.bioinformaticsonline.org), accessible
free of charge by book purchasers, provides links to Internet
sources referred to in the text, as well as problem sets for
classroom use, and other useful material not included in the text.
Based on the well-established course given at the University of
Arizona by the author, David Mount, this book is an ideal
foundation for teaching at an undergraduate and graduate level. It
is also highly suited for the self-instruction of investigators
interested in the application of methods and strategies in
functional genomics and for the needs of information specialists
working in molecular biology and pharmaceutical laboratories.
