Infos

Bioinformatics: Methods Express is unique. It is a book on bioinformatics that makes sense to non-bioinformaticians.Bioinformatics: Methods Express helps you answer common questions such as: *what else is similar to my gene?*does this protein have any transmembrane regions?*how do I visualize an alignment between these DNAs?*where can I find specific transcription factor sequences?The book provides the clear advice and explicit protocols that non-bioinformaticians need in order to understand what to do - and how to avoid common pitfalls. Each chapter guides you through the major databases and tools with worked examples - all accompanied by sample data files available online.Topics covered include:*data access*sequence searches and alignments*identification and annotation of features*the transcriptome*protein structure and function*comparisons and phylogenyBioinformatics: Methods Express is a comprehensive manual for all wet-bench scientists who need to use bioinformatics - from postgraduate student to principal investigator.www.scionpublishing.com/bioinformatics contains comprehensive datasets which allow the reader to practise the techniques described in the book.
