Publisher Synopsis
'Essential Bioinformatics is a welcome addition to this area, by having a broad general approach that I think is particularly suitable for undergraduate teaching. The advantage of this being a new book is that there is not an overriding focus on structural bioinformatics that was seen in some earlier texts, which allows for a much broader coverage of newer areas like comparative and functional genomics.' http://www.sgm.ac.uk/pubs/micro_today/book_reviews/MTNOV06/MTN06_31.cfm 'The book would be ideal for biologists who wish to gain a grasp of the different analysis techniques available to the microarray user.' http://www.sgm.ac.uk/pubs/micro_today/book_reviews/MTAUG04/MTA04_13.cfm 'Awareness of bioinformatics is essential in a modern microbiological qualification and as this subject matures there are an increasing number of texts available. Essential Bioinformatics is a welcome addition to this area, by having a broad general approach that I think is particularly suitable for the undergraduate teaching.'
