Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills
(Cynthia Gibas, Per Jambeck)
Book DescriptionBioinformatics--the application of computational and analytical methodsto biological problems--is a rapidly evolving scientific discipline.Genome sequencing projects are producing vast amounts of biologicaldata for many different organisms, and, increasingly, storing thesedata in public databases. Such biological databases are growingexponentially, along with the biological literature. It's impossiblefor even the most zealous researcher to stay on top of necessaryinformation in the field without the aid of computer-based tools.Bioinformatics is all about building these tools. Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skillsis for scientists and students who are learning computational approaches to biology for the first time, as well as for experiencedbiology researchers who are just starting to use computers to handletheir data. The Book covers the Unix file system, building tools anddatabases for bioinformatics, computational approaches to biological problems, an introduction to Perl for bioinformatics, data mining, anddata visualization. Written in a clear, engaging style, Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills will help biologists develop a structured approach to biological data as well as the tools they'll need to analyze the data. Book Info Introduces software tools forbiological applications, introducing and explaining popular tools usedin information research. Covers the necessary background theory forunderstanding bioinformatics and its software, including how the toolsare best used and why they are important. Discusses Unix for theworking biologist, building databases, and other topics. Softcover.
