Cover von Jean-Michel Claverie & Cedric Notredame: Bioinformatics For Dummies (PDF)
Were you always curious about biology but were afraid to sit through long hours of dense reading? Did you like the subject when you were in high school but had other plans after you graduated? Now you can explore the human genome and analyze DNA without ever leaving your desktop!

Bioinformatics For Dummies is packed with valuable information that introduces you to this exciting new discipline. This easy-to-follow guide leads you step by step through every bioinformatics task that can be done over the Internet. Forget long equations, computer-geek gibberish, and installing bulky programs that slow down your computer. You’ll be amazed at all the things you can accomplish just by logging on and following these trusty directions. You get the tools you need to:

* Analyze all types of sequences

* Use all types of databases

* Work with DNA and protein sequences

* Conduct similarity searches

* Build a multiple sequence alignment

* Edit and publish alignments

* Visualize protein 3-D structures

* Construct phylogenetic trees

This up-to-date second edition includes newly created and popular databases and Internet programs as well as multiple new genomes. It provides tips for using servers and places to seek resources to find out about what’s going on in the bioinformatics world. Bioinformatics For Dummies will show you how to get the most out of your PC and the right Web tools so you’ll be searching databases and analyzing sequences like a pro!

Über den Autor

Jean-Michel Claverie is Professor of Medical Bioinformatics
at the School of Medicine of the Université de la
Méditerranée, and a consultant in genomics and
bioinformatics. He is the founder and current head of the
Structural & Genomic Information Laboratory, located in
Marseilles, a sunny city on the Mediterranean coast of France.
Using science as a pretext to travel, Jean-Michel has held
positions in Paris (France), Sherbrooke (PQ, Canada), the Salk
Institute (La Jolla, CA), the Pasteur Institute (Paris), Incyte
pharmaceutical (Palo Alto, CA); and the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (Bethesda, MD). He has used computers in
biology since the early days — his Ph.D. work involved
modeling biochemical reactions by programming an 8K Honeywell 516
computer right from the console switches! Although he has no clear
recollection of it, he has been credited with introducing the
French word ‚bioinformatique‘ in the late eighties,
before involuntarily coining the catchy
‚bioinformatics‘ by mistranslating it while giving a
talk in English!

Jean-Michel’s current research interests are in microbial and
structural genomics, and in the development of bioinformatic
methods for the prediction of gene function. He is the author or
coauthor of more than 150 scientific publications, and a member of
numerous international review panels and scientific councils. In
his spare time, he enjoys the relaxed pace of life in Marseilles,
with his wife Chantal and their two sons, Nicholas and Raphael.

Cedric Notredame is a researcher at the French National
Centre for Scientific Research. Cedric has used and abused the
facilities offered by science to wander around Europe. After a
Ph.D. at EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany) and at the European
Bioinformatics Institute (Cambridge, UK) under the supervision of
Des Higgins (yes, the Clustal W guy), Cedric did a post-doc at the
National Institute of Medical Research (London, UK), in the lab of
Willie Taylor and under the supervision of Jaap Heringa. He then
did a post-doc in Lausanne (Switzerland) with Phillip Bucher, and
remained involved with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics for
several years. Having had his share of rain, snow, and wind, Cedric
has finally settled in Marseilles, where the sun and the sea are
simply warmer than any other place he has lived in.

Cedric dedicates most of his research to the multiple sequence
alignment problem and its many applications in biology. His friends
claim that his entire life (past, present, future) is somehow
stuffed into the T-Coffee multiple-sequence alignment package. When
he is not busy dismantling T-Coffee and brewing new sequences,
Cedric enjoys life in the company of his wife, Marita.
