A step-by-step guide to using computational tools to solve problems in cell biology
Combining expert discussion with examples that can be reproduced by
the reader, A Cell Biologist's Guide to Modeling and Bioinformatics
introduces an array of informatics tools that are available for
analyzing biological data and modeling cellular processes. You learn to
fully leverage public databases and create your own computational
models. All that you need is a working knowledge of algebra and
cellular biology; the author provides all the other tools you need to
understand the necessary statistical and mathematical methods.
Coverage is divided into two main categories:
Molecular sequence database chapters are dedicated to gaining an
understanding of tools and strategies鈥攊ncluding queries, alignment
methods, and statistical significance measures鈥攏eeded to improve
searches for sequence similarity, protein families, and putative
functional domains. Discussions of sequence alignments and biological
database searching focus on publicly available resources used for
background research and the characterization of novel gene products.
Modeling
chapters take you through all the steps involved in creating a
computational model for such basic research areas as cell cycle,
calcium dynamics, and glycolysis. Each chapter introduces a new
simulation tooland is based on published research. The combination
creates a rich context for ongoing skill and knowledge development in
modeling biological research systems.
Students and professional
cell biologists can develop the basic skills needed to learn
computational cell biology. This unique text, with its step-by-step
instruction, enables you to test and develop your new bioinformatics
and modeling skills. References are provided to help you take advantage
of more advanced techniques, technologies, and training.
