About this title

Synopsis:

"A reference that should be in the personal library of any biologist who uses the Internet for the analysis of DNA and protein sequence data" --Science

From the Back Cover:

Edited by Andreas D. Baxevanis and B. F. Francis Ouellette

Bioinformatics, a field integrating molecular biology and computational methods, has revolutionized gene discovery and related research. This new, rapidly evolving discipline provides the tools scientists need to cope with the flood of biological data and raw DNA and protein sequence information generated by such endeavors as the Human Genome Project.

Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins makes computational biology accessible to scientists at all levels of expertise, including those with no formal computer training. It cuts through the overwhelming array of existing tools and databases, helping the reader design and implement a successful sequence analysis strategy. Presented by leading authorities in computational biology, this edited volume covers the gamut of topics, from using software and Internet resources to submitting DNA sequences to databases. Other topics include:

The GenBank sequence database and structure databases
Sequence analysis using GCG
Information retrieval from biological databases
The NCBI data model
Sequence alignment and database searching
Practical aspects of multiple sequence alignment
Phylogenetic analysis
Predictive methods using nucleotide sequences and protein sequences
Navigating public physical mapping databases
ACeDB: A database for genome information

Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins is fully referenced and provides appendices, sample sequence file formats, and over 120 illustrations. A must have for molecular biologists, geneticists, and any biologist interested in genes and proteins, it can also be used in a one-semester practical course on sequence analysis and bioinformatics.

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
