Understanding Bioinformatics by Marketa Zvelebil
Suitable for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates, Understanding Bioinformatics provides a definitive guide to this vibrant and evolving discipline."Congratulations on a fine book! I do not think I have seen such a comprehensive text on bioinformatics algorithms and techniques beforeI think this will be an invaluable resource for the bioinformatics community and researchers of neighbouring disciplines." - Jaap Heringa, Free University, Amsterdam
"Many of the students in our program could benefit from reading this guide to genetics and molecular biology terms. Chapter 1 was well organized and easy to follow … I found that the illustrations were familiar and depicted the concepts well." - Sudha Iyengar, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA
"I found Chapter 6 to be a very detailed and informative overview of multiple alignment and pattern discovery methods for biological sequences. The level of detail was good, as were most of the explanations of the methods. I would use this chapter in an undergraduate course in bioinformatics." - Tim Bailey, University of Queensland, Australia
"This is very well done. Compared to other competing textbooks, your book will be probably the first one that explains gene finding in detail." - Sun Kim, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA
"This chapter is nicely done, an easy read for an upperclassman or graduate student. The chapter reads as a How-To in protein structure prediction." - Chris Bystroff, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, USA, writing about Chapter 13
"I enjoyed reading this chapter, and commend the authors on a well presented and explained introduction to the main algorithms and issues of analyzing this sort of data. The figures are useful and relevant and the techniques presented give a very good representation of the main algorithms in what is a diverse area of analysis.
I believe this chapter to be at a great level for biology graduates, and in fact any student who has not been exposed to data mining concepts previously. I commend that the algorithms have been placed in a biological contexts wherever possible making the concepts more accessible." - Jen Taylor, University of Oxford, UK, writing about Chapter 16
