Genomes, Browsers and Databases: Data-Mining Tools for Integrated Genomic Databases

The recent explosive growth of biological data has lead to a rapid increase in the number of molecular biology databases.
Genomes, Browsers and Databases, ISBN-13: 9780521884433, ISBN-10: 0521884438
Held in many different locations and often using varying interfaces and non-standard data formats, integrating and comparing data from these multiple databases can be difficult and time-consuming. This book provides an overview of the key tools currently available for large-scale comparisons of gene sequences and annotations, focusing on the databases and tools from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), Ensembl, and the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Written specifically for biology and bioinformatics students and researchers, it aims to give an appreciation for the methods by which the browsers

Genomics and Bioinformatics: An Introduction to Programming Tools for Life Scientists

With the arrival of genomics and genome sequencing projects, biology has been transformed into an incredibly data-rich science. The vast amount of information generated has made computational analysis

Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics

With its highly developed capacity to detect patterns in data, Perl has become one of the most popular languages for biological data analysis. But if you're a biologist with little or no programming e

Biological Sequence Analysis: Probabilistic Models of Proteins and Nucleic Acids

Probablistic models are becoming increasingly important in analyzing the huge amount of data being produced by large-scale DNA-sequencing efforts such as the Human Genome Project. For example, hidden

Building Bioinformatics Solutions: with Perl, R and MySQL

Modern bioinformatics encompasses a broad and ever-changing range of activities involved with the management and analysis of data from molecular biology experiments. Despite the diversity of activitie

Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills

Bioinformatics--the application of computational and analytical methods to biological problems--is a rapidly evolving scientific discipline. Genome sequencing projects are producing vast amounts of
