want to analyse your molbiol data? start here!
Rated out of 5 stars, June 12th, 2007
This is the best book for a molecular biologist looking for survey of online tools and databases available to support the analysis of molecular data. It is most useful. However, it is too expensive to be recommended as a "must have" for students (therefore only 4 stars).
The cheaper alternative might be "Bioinformatics for Dummies" by Jean-Michel Claverie, Cedric Notredame. But I would really recommend Baxevanis/Oullette. -
Good solid reference
Rated out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2006
The second edition is a good solid introductory reference book. Particularly good chapters deal with PERL, sequence alignment and database searching and phylogenetics. Its small format and 450+ pages make it a portable yet useful reference. -
Excellent bioinformatics text book
Rated out of 5 stars, July 12th, 2005
This new 3rd edition is a much improved an updated version of the 2nd edition, which was already a reference text.
It is easy to read, the layout is excellent, the illustrations are plenty and informative, and the web links, problem sets and worked examples make this our first choice for a text book for students of all levels in bioinformatics. Highly recommended! -
A practical book and enormous collection of online resources
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2003
It is a good book, well-written and reasonably up-to-date.
A very good introduction for experimentalists who need to do some bioinformatics work. As promised in the title, the authors leave out detailed explanation of the theory and background and rather concentrate on most practical approaches.
The collection of online resources is impressive and fully appropriate for readers who want to find 'some' tool that fulfills the needed function. The more advance bioinformatician, however, will miss links to recently developed resources and is adviced to review the expert literature.
