An Introduction to Bioinformatics introduces students to the immense power of bioinformatics as a set of scientific tools. The book explains how to access the data archives of genomes and proteins, and the kinds of questions these data and tools can answer, such as how to make inferences from data archives and how to make connections among them to derive useful and interesting predictions.
Blending factual content with many opportunities for active learning, An Introduction to Bioinformatics offers a truly reader-friendly way to get to grips with this subject, making it the ideal resource for anyone new to the field.

About the Author:
Arthur M. Lesk is Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at The Pennsylvania State University, USA.
Review:`Review from previous edition I have a very favourable opinion of this book. It covers the basics of all aspects of bioinformatics at a level that is very compatible with how I teach. The amount of material presented is appropriate for a one semester class. The problems are excellent: well thought out and plentiful.' Dr Mitrick A. Johns, Northern Illinois University, USA
`I like Lesk's conceptual style. It is close to how I teach...it provides a little bit of web sites, a little bit of algorithms, a little bit of theory, and much casual exposure to a range of bioinformatics topics. It is easy to use as a text. ' Dr Lorraine Marsh, Long Island University, USA
`This is a very good introductory textbook in bioinformatics. It is well-structured and nicely laid out. There are numerous examples and problems attached to each chapter, including the novel Weblems.' Dr Karen Page, University College London, UK
`Overall the book is well laid out. There is a good mixture between information text and case studies. There is a good selection of recommended reading and problems at the end of each chapter. I like the learning goals at the beginning of each chapter and the plan of the book before chapter 1.' Dr Dawn Louise Arnold, University of the West of England, UK

Descripción Oxford University Press. Paperback. Estado de conservación: new. BRAND NEW, Introduction to Bioinformatics (3rd Revised edition), Arthur M. Lesk, Life in a post-genomic age has the promise to revolutionize our understanding of how our genes shape who we are, how our genome evolved, and how we function. There are new possibilities for an improved quality of life as we exploit new knowledge to design novel, more effective drugs. Central to these possibilities being realized is one of the most important information-gathering, data-mining, and knowledge-building tools in current research and healthcare development: bioinformatics. An Introduction to Bioinformatics introduces students to the immense power of bioinformatics as a set of scientific tools. The book explains how to access the data archives of genomes and proteins, and the kinds of questions these data and tools can answer: how to make inferences from the data archives, to make connections among them, and to derive useful and interesting predictions. Blending factual content with many opportunities for active learning, Introduction to Bioinformatics offers a truly reader-friendly way to get to grips with this subject, making it the ideal resource for anyone new to the field. Online Resource Centre: The Online Resource Centre features the following materials: For lecturers (password protected): * Figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture slide preparation For students: * Hyperlinked bibliography - online links to articles referenced in the book, encouraging student engagement with the primary literature * Links to PDB structures of all proteins cited in the book, to enable students to investigate the 3D structures of proteins in a visual, interactive way * Data from the book in computer-readable form, which is available for instant use to facilitate hands-on learning by the student - Guidance to help students answer problems from the text, to support and encourage self-directed learning.
