Introduction to Bioinformatics
Publisher: Benjamin Cummings | ISBN: 0582327881 | edition 2001 | DJVU | 11,1 pages | 240 mb
The book provides an undergraduate (final year) introduction to bioinformatics focussing on two key areas, genomics and protein sequence analysis. It provides an overview of primary, composite and secondary databases, and gives a brief introduction to the Internet and the world wide web.
Bioinformatics, the application of computers in biological sciences and especially analysis of biological sequence data, is becoming an essential tool in molecular biology as genome projects generate vast quantities of data. With new sequences being added to DNA databases, on average, once a minute, there is a pressing need to convert this information into biochemical and biophysical knowledge by deciphering the structural, functional and evolutionary clues encoded in the language of biological sequences.
