Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Good Purchase Good concepts for a beginner ad intermediate level. Concepts are clearly explained and are easy to understand. Rating: - Overall a Good Book on Bioinformatics This is overall a good book on bioinformatics. If you like the Dummy series, you will like this book. It's more thorough on the biology side of bioinformatics than on the "information" side. However, the concepts are explained in an easy to understand fashion. Worth the price. Rating: - Thorough, in-depth introduction. The "for dummies" is misleading Many people are derisive about the "for Dummies" series, believing them to be too simplistic and sometimes even an insult to their intelligence. That can hardly apply to this book, as there is nothing "dummy" about it. You need a significant background in biology and chemistry in order to understand most of it. You need to understand the amino acid structure of proteins, the structure of DNA and many fundamental principles of data analysis. Some knowledge of the structure and operations of databases ...

The other chapters teach you to use the free software found on the Internet to work with your research. Information is also given which helps explain some biochemicals. My skills are in Software Development using C++ language, and I need more information on biochemicals to understand the problems and to develop algorithms to solve them. My only criticism is that I would like the book to give more biochemical ... Read More Rating: - Good I am a couple years into a PhD in bioinformatics, but this is the book I started with. I knew some biology and some computer science, but I still found a lot of the databases, etc. confusing and the field has a decided lack of simplified documentation (though it is getting better). Of course, bioinformatics is a pretty broad topic and no book could possibly cover everything. If you do not know any biology at all you probably should also get a basic text on genetics/molecular ...
