About the Book

Written by a pioneer of the use of bioinformatics in research, Introduction to Bioinformatics introduces the student to the power of bioinformatics as a set of scientific tools. The book explains how to access the data archives of genomes and proteins, and the kind of questions these data and tools can answer - how to make inferences from the data archives, to make connections among them, and to derive useful and interesting predictions. On 26 June 2000, the completion of the draft sequence of the Human Genome saw the sciences of biology and medicine change forever. It promised new insights into our genetic make-up, how our genes shape who we are, and how we function, and new possibilities for an improved quality of life, exploiting new knowledge to design novel, more effective drugs. At the heart of this breakthrough lies a scientific discipline which is now one of the most important information gathering, data-mining, and knowledge-building tools in current research and health-care development: bioinformatics. Retaining and enhancing the rich pedagogy and lucid presentation of the first edition, the book is accompanied by a fully integrated Online Resource Centre, encouraging students to explore the computational tools of bioinformatics in a relevant and stimulating way. Salient Features Maintains lucid style and clarity of explanations for which the author is renowned, making the subject truly accessible to a wide range of students Rich pedagogy includes many exercises, problems, and WebLems to encourage students to explore the subject for themselves Careful balance between biology and computer science: introduces those aspects of computer science which underpin the discipline, without demanding detailed prior knowledge Online Resource Centre includes figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparation, and a variety of interactive resources, including web links, 3D structures, and data sets, to support and encourage hands-on learning by the student New chapter on proteomics and systems biology, reflecting current advances in microarray analysis, and genomic and proteomic databases New chapter on drug discovery and design, expanding the coverage offered by the first edition Coverage of JAVA-based programming to complement the treatment of PERL New two-colour text design Links to the SCOP database for all structures cited in the book, facilitating access to 3D representations of these structures Answers to exercises provided at the end of the book
