About this title

Synopsis

Bioinformatics: Methods Express is unique. It is a book on bioinformatics that makes sense to non-bioinformaticians.
Bioinformatics: Methods Express helps you answer common questions such as:

•what else is similar to my gene?
•does this protein have any transmembrane regions?
•how do I visualize an alignment between these DNAs?
•where can I find specific transcription factor sequences?

The book provides the clear advice and explicit protocols that non-bioinformaticians need in order to understand what to do - and how to avoid common pitfalls. Each chapter guides you through the major databases and tools with worked examples - all accompanied by sample data files available online. Topics covered include:

•data access
•sequence searches and alignments
•identification and annotation of features
•the transcriptome
•protein structure and function
•comparisons and phylogeny

Bioinformatics: Methods Express is a comprehensive manual for all wet-bench scientists who need to use bioinformatics - from postgraduate student to principal investigator.
