Title: Introduction to Bioinformatics by Teresa Attwood, David Parry-Smith ISBN: 0-582-32788-1 Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub. Date: 30 May, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $50.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Mediocre (but Chapter 3 is worth reading)
Comment: Not really worth spending money and time. $50 is way too much a book of this volume. Authors spent too much writing on superficial (length of several paragraphs) introduction to various softwares and databases (e.g., database XXX is produced by YYY research center using ZZZ format, etc.).
Chapter 3 (Protein information resources), however, was worth reading. It presents good figures and tables on various patterns (e.g., pattern, profile, fingerprint, HMM, block) in protein structure.
Also, no errata information is provided from publisher.
Rating: 4
Summary: Interesting book
Comment: This is a good book to introduce begginers into bioinformatics. It is very clear and easy to read, thereby can be useful for both biologists and computer scientists as well. Anyway if you are a computer scientist I would suggest you to better have a basical knowledge of some biology concepts such as gens, proteins and so on. The book explains some concepts of bioinformatics in a general way. For example: some sequence alignment algorithms are noted but not described deeply. I think the book is worth the money.
