Bioinformatics basics

"As with the first edition of Bioinformatics Basics: Applications in Biological Science and Medicine, this second edition continues to answer the scientific community's need to learn about the bioinformatics tools available, while also providing the understanding to apply those tools to research." "Recognizing the important advances in bioinformatics since the last edition, the authors have produced a completely revised and updated version of their pioneering work that includes some fresh approaches to data analysis, while identifying computing techniques that will help them manage the massive flow of information their science requires."

"Bioinformatics Basics is not intended to serve as a training manual for bioinformaticians. Instead, it is designed to help the general scientific community gain a thorough understanding of what bioinformatics tools are available to them, and the best ways these tools can be utilized and adapted to meet the needs of their specific interests and projects."--Jacket.
