Essential Bioinformatics
(Jin Xiong)
Society for General Microbiology Book Description Essential Bioinformatics isa concise yet comprehensive textbook of bioinformatics, which providesa broad introduction to the entire field. Written specifically for alife science audience, the basics of bioinformatics are explained,followed by discussions of the state-of-the-art computational toolsavailable to solve biological research problems. All key areas ofbioinformatics are covered including biological databases, sequencealignment, genes and promoter prediction, molecular phylogenetics,structural bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics. The book emphasizeshow computational methods work and compares the strengths andweaknesses of different methods. This balanced yet easily accessibletext will be invaluable to students who do not have sophisticatedcomputational backgrounds. Technical details of computationalalgorithms are explained with a minimum use of mathematical formulae;graphical illustrations are used in their place to aid understanding.The effective synthesis of existing literature as well as in-depth andup-to-date coverage of all key topics in bioinformatics make this anideal textbook for all bioinformatics courses taken by life sciencestudents and for researchers wishing to develop their knowledge ofbioinformatics to facilitate their own research.
