Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (Jonathan Pevsner).

Издательство Wiley гордится выпуском первого в своем роде учебника по биоинформатике и функциональной геномике, написанного профессиональным биологом, опытным исследователем и лауреатом премии "Преподаватель года" Джонатаном Певзнером. В этой новой книге автор объясняет решение задач с использованием биоинформатических подходов на реальных примерах, таких как рак молочной железы, ВИЧ-1 и сетчаточный связывающий белок. Книга включает 375 иллюстраций и более 170 таблиц. Каждая глава содержит: задачи, обсуждение подводных камней, врезки, объясняющие ключевые методы и принципы математики/статистики, краткое содержание, список рекомендованной литературы и ссылки на свободно доступное программное обеспечение. Учебник подходит для специалистов и студентов всех уровней, в том числе тех, у кого мало или вообще нет базовых знаний в области информатики.

Wiley proudly announces the publication of a comprehensive introductory textbook introducing Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics from a biological perspective, led by an accomplished research scientist and celebrated educator. Within this new work by author Jonathan Pevsner and recipient of the prestigious 2001 JHU Teacher of the Year award, readers are taken through bioproblem solving using bioinformatics approaches featuring illustrative cases such as breast and HIV-1 cancers as well as retinal-binding proteins. This book contains 376 figures and 172 tables; every chapter offers: Challenge questions, exploration of Setbacks, embedded Boxes describing key techniques together with mathematical/statistical exposition, Synopsis, Bibliography plots, and hyperlinks for freely accessible programs. The book is amenable to professionals and learners at each stage in their education, ranging from beginners with weak computer science backing.

Wiley are proud of announcing the release of the first single-source textbook, a comprehensive treatment, Bioinformatics and functional genomics, by Jonathan Pevrenter, someone who is trained as a biologist with excellent experience at research, as well as being the recipient of prestigious teaching awards. Within this book, Pervsner explains how to solve problems through bioinformatics while using real world examples, such as those involving breast cancer, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and the retina-binding protein, and throughout, the author mentions 376 figures and more than 176 tables. Whilst within each chapter, there is a list of questions, a discussion into which pitfalls could arise, a selection of boxes for the greatest techniques and principles of mathematics and statistics, a summary, some recommended reading lists, and active links to freely available computer software. This book is ideally suitable for both professional people and students of any skill level, even those who have little or no knowledge of computer science.
