Bioinformatics for Geneticists by Michael R Barnes
Assuming only a basic knowledge of bioinformatics, Bioinformatics for Geneticists: A Bioinformatics Primer for the Analysis of Genetic Data illustrates the value of bioinformatics as a constantly evolving avenue into novel approaches to study genetics."…this book contains some essential reading for almost any person working in the field of molecular genetics" (European Journal Of Human Genetics, 2007)
“Over 19 chapters, the authors cover an impressive terrain. The focus is mainly on human genetics and genomics, with research in other species also presented, particularly where it supports and advances our understanding of human genetics. Although a thoughtful discussion of the relevant literature and techniques is found in each chapter, the book is not overly technical and does not present advanced mathematical, statistical, or genetic concepts in great depth. Instead, focus is on practical applications, available tools, software, and databases, and the presentation supporting real world research examples. The end result is one of the best available and most accessible texts on bioinformatics and genetics in the postgenome age…this book in its current edition still serves as one of the best resources available, particularly in chapters on noncoding RNAs, pharmacogenetics, and drug discovery, microarrays/gene expression, regulatory polymorphisms, and the potential impacts of amino acid changes. The writing is clear, with succinct subsections within each chapter….Without reservation, I endorse this text as the best resource I’ve encountered that neatly introduces and summarizes many points I’ve learned through years of experience. The gems of truth found in this book will serve well those who wish to apply bioinformatics in their daily work, as well as help them advise others in this capacity.” (Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics, 2008)
