Reviews / Votes
"...focuses on...the ways that structure the field of bioinformatics..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002) "...gives a good feel for the complexity of the task that faces us in handling the ever increasing volumes of data..." (Human Genetics, No.111, 2002) "The great demand...for scientists skilled in bioinformatics has created a need for good books on the techniques of bioinformatics...one such book is the multi--authored, two--volume set edited by Prof. Dr. Lengauer..." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 46, No. 11) "...a good reference book for practising bioinformaticians and students of bioinformatics..." (Addiction Biology, June 2003)More details
