A Unique Textbook for Teaching Courses in Bioinformatics [review of Discovering Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics, 2nd ed. (Cummings, B.; 2006)]

摘要

Take a look around for textbooks explaining the foundations of bioinformatics to advanced undergraduates and you''ll find a very limited selection. Luckily, at least one textbook fills the niche nicely and provides an excellent launching pad for undergraduates ready to begin using in silico and high throughput biology. Now in its second edition, Discovering Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics by A. Malcolm Campbell and Laurie J. Heyer offers a biology-centered, problem-solving approach to tackling this growing and rapidly evolving discipline.
