Bioinformatics: Genomics and Post-Genomics
By Fr茅d茅ric Dardel, François K茅p猫s
Publisher: Wiley
Number Of Pages: 252
Publication Date: 2006-09-25
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0470020016
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780470020012
Binding: Hardcover
This book is an excellent introductory text describing the use
of bioinformatics to analyze genomic and post-genomic data. It has been
translated from the original popular French edition, which was based on
a course taught at the well-respected École Polytechnique in Palaiseau.
This edition has been fully revised and updated by the authors.
After a brief introduction to gene structure and sequence
determination, it describes the techniques used to identify genes,
their protein-coding sequences and regulatory regions. The book
discusses the methodology of comparative genomics, using information
from different organisms to deduce information about unknown sequences.
There is a comprehensive chapter on structure prediction, covering both
RNA and protein. Finally, the book describes the complex networks of
RNA and protein that exist within the cell and their interactions,
ending with a discussion of the simulation approaches that can be used
to model these networks.
Praise from the reviews:
鈥淚n context of the new developments the genomic era has brought,
Bioinformatics: Genomics and Post-Genomics becomes a fundamental and
indispensable resource for undergraduate and early graduate
students鈥nsightfully authored鈥ill immensely help students鈥n
establishing important foundations while shaping their
careers.鈥?NEWSLETTER, BRITISH SOCIETY OF CELL BIOLOGY
Summary: Good introduction
Rating: 4
This book is basically used for a bioinformatics class in France and
translated in English. I've been working on developing tools for ncRNA
gene predictions and this book clarifies of the mystery in genomics
what I could not reach by biology books. Using pictures and figures,
it's a pretty much comprehensive book. If you are a novice in
bioinformatics field, I would recommend reading this book. However, if
you expect to learn something in more specific such as machine learning
or etc., then you may be disappointed.
