Now in its third edition and supplemented with more online
material, this book aims to make the "new" information-based
(rather than gene-based) bioinformatics intelligible both to the
"bio" people and the "info" people. Books on bioinformatics have
traditionally served gene-hunters, and biologists who wish to
construct family trees showing tidy lines of descent. While dealing
extensively with the exciting topics of gene discovery and
database-searching, such books have hardly considered genomes as
information channels through which multiple forms and levels of
information have passed through the generations. This "new
bioinformatics" contrasts with the "old" gene-based bioinformatics
that so preoccupies previous texts. Forms of information that we
are familiar with (mental, textual) are related to forms with which
we are less familiar (hereditary). The book extends a line of
evolutionary thought that leads from the nineteenth century
(Darwin, Butler, Romanes, Bateson), through the twentieth
(Goldschmidt, White), and into the twenty first (the final works of
the late Stephen Jay Gould). Long an area of controversy, diverging
views may now be reconciled.
