Description
Table of Contents
Google Preview: 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 phylogeny Bioinformatics: 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.; INTRODUCTION (Paul H.
