Fundamentals of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

Reviews / Votes

"As this area of study has grown, textbooks such as this one are appearing for undergraduate or graduate courses in bioinformatics and computational biology. . This book is an introduction to the use of computational techniques to analyze biological data. . The book is logically organized, understandable, and clearly written . . the book offers a competent overview of the core topics of bioinformatics." (G. R. Mayforth, Computing Reviews, September, 2015)

"This work, a recent addition to the introductory textbook arena, differentiates itself by utilizing MATLAB for sequence analysis and experimentation. . the book offers one more good choice for introductory bioinformatics courses and can be especially valuable to students who are already familiar with MATLAB. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students." (D. Papamichail, Choice, Vol. 52 (9), May, 2015)

"The author accomplishes his declared objective: to contribute to the creation ofeducational resources for undergraduate students in computer engineering who are interested in specializing in the new field of bioinformatics. Responding to this need, every chapter includes many examples using MATLAB bioinformatics tools and some proposed exercises." (Valentin V. Inceu, Computing Reviews, March, 2015)

"This book is built as an introductory textbook (structured for students with computing background) for the rapidly developing, interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics. . although written for students (undergraduate and post-graduate) with a background in computing, the book can be adapted for students with a background in biology or chemistry. This book is a timely addition to the recently emerged and quickly developing field of computational biology." (Irina Ioana Mohorianu, zbMATH 1306.92001, 2015)
