Product Description
Review
"…an outstanding achievement and will be a sound resource for bioengineers, cellular and molecular biotechnologists, and bioinformatists." (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, June 2006)
"…does an excellent job of tracking developments and providing an account that will be accessible to working biologists. This should be on the bookshelf of every molecular biologist." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, December 2005)
"...fully delivers on its promise of providing a useful and practical guide...I found it to be the most useful book on bioinformatics I have seen and recommend it very highly." (ASM News, September 2005)
“…not only an excellent guidebook … but also a supreme teaching and reference material.” (ChemBioChem, 2005; Vol. 6, 6)
"…not only an excellent guidebook for bioinformatics users but also…a supreme teaching and reference material." (ChemBioChem, July 4, 2005)
"…the most updated bioinformatics book that offers expert insights into cutting–edge tools of modern computational biology and stands out from many current texts on the subject." (American Journal of Human Biology, May/June 2005)
"…The book and the attached web links together give readers a rich resource of topics covered..." (Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Vol.14, No.1, 2005)

"A reference that should be in the personal library of any biologist who uses the Internet for hte analysis of DNA and protein sequence data"--Science

Format:Paperback
It is a good book, well-written and reasonably up-to-date.
A very good introduction for experimentalists who need to do some bioinformatics work. As promised in the title, the authors leave out detailed explanation of the theory and background and rather concentrate on most practical approaches.
The collection of online resources is impressive and fully appropriate for readers who want to find 'some' tool that fulfills the needed function. The more advance bioinformatician, however, will miss links to recently developed resources and is adviced to review the expert literature.

Format:Hardcover
This new 3rd edition is a much improved an updated version of the 2nd edition, which was already a reference text.
It is easy to read, the layout is excellent, the illustrations are plenty and informative, and the web links, problem sets and worked examples make this our first choice for a text book for students of all levels in bioinformatics. Highly recommended!

This is the best book for a molecular biologist looking for survey of online tools and databases available to support the analysis of molecular data. It is most useful. However, it is too expensive to be recommended as a "must have" for students (therefore only 4 stars).
The cheaper alternative might be "Bioinformatics for Dummies" by Jean-Michel Claverie, Cedric Notredame. But I would really recommend Baxevanis/Oullette.
