• Table of Contents • Index Bioinformatics Computing By Bryan Bergeron Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Pub Date: November 19, 2002 ISBN: 0-13-100825-0 Pages: 439 Slots: 1 In Bioinformatics Computing, Harvard Medical School and MIT faculty member Bryan Bergeron presents a comprehensive and practical guide to bioinformatics for life scientists at every level of training and practice. After an up-to-the-minute overview of the entire field, he illuminates every key bioinformatics technology, offering practical insights into the full range of bioinformatics applications- both new and emerging. Coverage includes: G Technologies that enable researchers to collaborate more effectively G Fundamental concepts, state-of-the-art tools, and "on the horizon" advances G Bioinformatics information infrastructure, including GENBANK and other Web-based resources G Very large biological databases: object-oriented database methods, data mining/warehousing, knowledge management, and more G 3D visualization: exploring the inner workings of complex biological structures G Advanced pattern matching techniques, including microarray research and gene prediction G Event-driven, time-driven, and hybrid simulation techniques Bioinformatics Computing combines practical insight for assessing bioinformatics technologies, practical guidance for using them effectively, and intelligent context for understanding their rapidly evolving roles. • Table of Contents • Index Bioinformatics Computing By Bryan Bergeron Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Pub Date: November 19, 2002 ISBN: 0-13-100825-0 Pages: 439 Slots: 1 Copyright About Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference Preface Organization of This Book How to Use This Book The Larger Context Acknowledgments Chapter 1.
