Genomic Perl: From Bioinformatics Basics to Working Code
Genomic Perl: From Bioinformatics Basics to Working Code
By Rex A. Dwyer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages: 400

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521801775
Binding: Hardcover
In this introduction to computational molecular biology, Rex Dwyer
explains many basic computational problems and gives concise, working
programs to solve them in the Perl programming language. With minimal
prerequisites, he covers the biological background for each problem,
develops a model for the solution, and then introduces the Perl
concepts needed to implement the solution. The chapters discuss
pairwise and multiple sequence alignment, fast database searches for
homologous sequences, protein motif identification, genome
rearrangement, physical mapping, phylogeny reconstruction, satellite
identification, sequence assembly, gene finding, and RNA secondary
structure. Concrete examples and a step-by-step approach enable readers
to grasp the computational and statistical methods.
Summary: Not a good perl programming book period!
Rating: 1
This books tries to combine and explain both bioinformatics and perl
programming yet fails miserably at both. Though I have taken a class on
learning perl this code is difficult to read and poorly explained. The
bioinformatics is useless because the examples are simply stupid. For
example instead of using free energy to determine RNA folding the
author uses hydrogen bonding which is completely irrelavent or
predicting species by using %gc or %at content between two organsims
also useless. If you are looking for bioinformatics programming tips
this book will not help you.
Variables are introduced that are not
explained and the program is written in the most condensed possible way
making it difficult to read and leaving you wading through each line. I
am thankful I have taken programming perl and bioinformatics or this
book would be of zero value. If I could I would give this book a -5
stars. Check it out at a library before you BUY!!!!!!! Even if perl.com
reviews the book favorably the biology is at best completely WRONG!!!
Buy O'Riely's advanced bioinformatics.
Summary: Develops effective genomic toolkits for UNIX, Windows & Mac
Rating: 5
Combines intuitive derivations of most key algorithms, thoughtful
use of key references to illustrate solutions of main problems with a
detailed example, and develop well documented, carefully
programmed,perl toolkit. The 65 routines on the CD in UNIX, Windows,
and Mac formats perform most of the essential maipulations of GenBank
sequences. I only miss Hidden Markov Model routines.
