A plethora of bioinformatics tools are available for exploiting the rapidly growing genomic, proteomic
and structural data and the related databases. However many researchers are unaware of these tools because
they were published in a journal of narrow distribution or because they were described in technical
language unfamiliar to the life scientist
In this book, leading bioinformaticists critically review the latest developments in their fields
of expertise. Each chapter provides a clear explanation of the use, purpose and future potential of the tools
for a given application. Topics covered include the use of multiple alignment methods, analysis of
expression data, structural genomics, protein structure prediction, and much more. An essential book for all
scientists working in genomics, proteomics and metabolomics.
