- Summary:
- Having migrated from molecular biology to bioinformatics and from academia to drug and genetics companies, Agostino offers a textbook for a first course in bioinformatics for students of biology and biochemistry. He focuses on the practical skills for analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. Throughout, the underlying question is always what can be learned from the sequence. No equipment is required except access to the Internet and a web browser. After introductions, he discusses such topics as the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) suite and the BLASTN version for nucleotides, cross-molecular searches, bioinformatics tools for the laboratory, exploring short nucleotide sequences, and browsing the genome. Garland Science is an imprint of Taylor & Francis group. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
