电子书免费下载 BIOINFORMATICS A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins SECOND EDITIO

Computational tools and approaches are being utilized to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyze, and visualize biological data. Bioinformatics will spur critical advances in the understanding of basic biological processes and the identification of disease genes, towards the ultimate goal of designing new and improved drug therapies. Universities are recognizing the importance of these endeavors and are establishing programs in bioinformatics that draw upon diverse disciplines, in particular molecular biology and computer science.

The new edition of Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins offers a sound foundation of basic concepts and a thorough introduction to computational tools and databases relevant to biological research. It covers the broad spectrum of topics in bioinformatics, from Internet concepts to predictive algorithms used on sequence, structure, and expression data. This supplementary website provides answers to end-of-chapter problem sets, links to web resources, and downloadable color figures from the book.
