Introduction to Bioinformatics

"! Overall, the book is well organized and clearly written. This book is a good mixture of theory and practical applications. ! graduate and research students of biostatistics who want to pursue a career in experimental biology will enjoy this book. In addition, practitioners in cancer research and forensic science will find this book quite useful. I also recommend it for library purchase." --Kuldeep Kumar (Bond University), Journal of the Royal Statistical Society "!Introduction to Bioinformatics serves a noble purpose ! Tramontano's added emphasis on proteomics should serve as an indication of a major current focus of bioinformatics and also to welcome Introduction to Bioinformatics into the canon of bioinformatics-related literature." --Eric D. Foster, University of Iowa, The American Statistician, August 2008 "This book provides a nice summary of introductory topics in bioinformatics, suitable for higher-level undergraduates with some biological background looking to enter the field or masters-level graduate students. ! the subject matter is informative and well written for an introductory book." --International Statistical Review, 2008 "By reading the book from cover to cover, the reader will acquire a sense of the richness of the field of bioinformatics." --Jonathan Hodgson, Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1115 (2007/17)
