Bioinformatics: A Concept-Based Introduction

Autor Venkatarajan Mathura, Pandjassarame Kangueane
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 oct 2008
Bioinformatics is an evolving field that is gaining popularity due to genomics, proteomics and other high-throughput biological methods. The function of bioinformatic scientists includes biological data storage, retrieval and in silico analysis of the results from large-scale experiments. This requires a grasp of knowledge mining algorithms, a thorough understanding of biological knowledge base, and the logical relationship of entities that describe a process or the system. Bioinformatics researchers are required to be trained in multidisciplinary fields of biology, mathematics and computer science. Currently the requirements are satisfied by ad hoc researchers who have specific skills in biology or mathematics/computer science. But the learning curve is steep and the time required to communicate using domain specific terms is becoming a major bottle neck in scientific productivity. This workbook provides hands-on experience which has been lacking for qualified bioinformatics researchers.

Descriere

Bioinformatics is an evolving field that is gaining popularity due to genomics, proteomics and other high-throughput biological methods. The function of bioinformatic scientists includes biological data storage, retrieval and in silico analysis of the results from large-scale experiments. This requires a grasp of knowledge mining algorithms, a thorough understanding of biological knowledge base, and the logical relationship of entities that describe a process or the system. Bioinformatics researchers are required to be trained in multidisciplinary fields of biology, mathematics and computer science. Currently the requirements are satisfied by ad hoc researchers who have specific skills in biology or mathematics/computer science. But the learning curve is steep and the time required to communicate using domain specific terms is becoming a major bottle neck in scientific productivity. This workbook provides hands-on experience which has been lacking for qualified bioinformatics researchers.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This book covers a number of topics within the field of bioinformatics and, like similar works, includes chapters on the fundamentals of programming, algorithm development … . It is evident that the authors are trying to appeal to a wide audience, from beginners to those with extensive experience. … it is recommended for scientists who are looking for a monograph offering a hands-on approach to learning bioinformatics. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty." (M. C. Pavao, Choice, Vol. 46 (10), June, 2009)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Bioinformatics: A Concept-Based Introduction is provides a balance of information on computational methods and biological information. Instead of delving in depth, a broad but necessary overview is provided for each topic, resulting in content that will benefit readers with different levels of expertise.
This book contains contributions from experts in the field on emerging topics like Immunoinformatics, Genomics and Proteomics. It discusses real-world problems with Bioinformatics solutions, cites important URLs and contains selected chapter exercises to reinforce concepts.

Caracteristici

Textbooks provide a practical introduction to bioinformatics and computer technologies
Our book is a workbook which spends more time showing students techniques and applications, problems and solutions
It is less theoretical, more practical and applied, and can be used as a companion to a more comprehensive text
