Genomics and Bioinformatics : An Introduction to Programming Tools for Life Scientists PDF
by Tore Samuelsson
Description
With the arrival of genomics and genome sequencing projects, biology has been transformed into an incredibly data-rich science.
The vast amount of information generated has made computational analysis critical and has increased demand for skilled bioinformaticians.
Designed for biologists without previous programming experience, this textbook provides a hands-on introduction to Unix, Perl and other tools used in sequence bioinformatics.
Relevant biological topics are used throughout the book and are combined with practical bioinformatics examples, leading students through the process from biological problem to computational solution.
All of the Perl scripts, sequence and database files used in the book are available for download at the accompanying website, allowing the reader to easily follow each example using their own computer.
Programming examples are kept at an introductory level, avoiding complex mathematics that students often find daunting.
The book demonstrates that even simple programs can provide powerful solutions to many complex bioinformatics problems.
