Product Description

Review
'... the authors have produced a book which really is a 'must read' for the newcomer to bioinformatics'. European Bioinformatics Institute

Brandon King, Cerritos Linux Users Group, April 2002
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this book to Computer Scientists, Biologists, and even people already involved in Bioinformatics.

3.0 out of 5 stars It tells you what can be done but not how to do it., 23 Jul 2002

By	"nickholway" - See all my reviews

I found this book to be little more than a very basic introduction to bioinformatics. If you want a book to tell you what can be done then it useful, but it goes into very little detail. The ground it attempts to cover is far too large, it runs through an introduction to databases, LINUX and PERL. If you are interested in these you will need to buy a proper book for each subject.

The book would have been a lot better if they had run through some examples of what you can do, showing you what can be done along the way.

The authors should also acknowledge that most biologists only use Windows PCs and Macs rather than just concentrate on LINUX. It should have also mentioned that OS-X is based upon UNIX and lots of the LINUX things can be done on that OS too.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent if cursory reference to current tools, 5 Jun 2001

By A Customer

Firstly this book is entirely Unix/Linux based, which may cut out many casual laboratory users. This is par for the course in bioinformatics but not strictly necessary. It has a few chapters to get you started on Linux set-up, and a very, very light grounding in molecular biology. The brief explanation of Perl programming, and databases is hardly sufficient other than as an eye-opener. It is a probable time saver as a good current reference to the available free bioinformatics web-sites and tools.

Possibly the authors are trying to cater to people who either know very little molecular biology (computing students), or very little computing (biologists). Perhaps there are two books yet to be written: one for each group.
