Reihe: Methods Express

Bioinformatics: Methods Express is unique. It is a book on bioinformatics that makes sense to non-bioinformaticians.

Bioinformatics: Methods Express helps you answer common questions such as:

*what else is similar to my gene?

*does this protein have any transmembrane regions?

*how do I visualize an alignment between these DNAs?

*where can I find specific transcription factor sequences?

The book provides the clear advice and explicit protocols that non-bioinformaticians need in order to understand what to do - and how to avoid common pitfalls. Each chapter guides you through the major databases and tools with worked examples - all accompanied by sample data files available online.

Topics covered include:

*data access

*sequence searches and alignments

*identification and annotation of features

*the transcriptome

*protein structure and function

*comparisons and phylogeny

Bioinformatics: Methods Express is a comprehensive manual for all wet-bench scientists who need to use bioinformatics - from postgraduate student to principal investigator.
