Description
Now available as a three-volume set, the second edition of this popular handbook provides expanded coverage of many important topics and recent developments in computational biology. With updates in each chapter, the book incorporates the latest research and applications in systems biology, including next-generation sequencing. The three volumes focus on Computational Genomics, Computational Systems Biology, and Computational Structural Biology.
Reviews / Votes
Praise for the First Edition:The material is well organized and documented, with good presentation and special care on typography. It is highly recommended for any researcher or graduate student interested in an insight into computational biology deeper than the practical use as "black boxes" of computer programs or web servers.-Arturo Rojo-Dominguez, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2007
It is to the credit of the author and publisher that they have been able to put together such a complete and well-organized handbook this early ... Useful to the researcher looking for either an introduction to the field in general or to learn about areas outside his particular area of expertise.
-Books-On-Line
... valuable to those new to the field as well as more experienced researchers. The handbook has done a good job of developing major areas in the field while maintaining a well-organized structure. The Handbook for Computational Molecular Biology will be a great resource to those interested in this exciting field.
-Suzanne Sindi, Bioinformatics, 2007
