Bioinformatics is about searching biological databases, comparing sequences, looking at protein structures, and (more generally) asking biological and biomedical questions with a computer. The bioinformatics we show you in this book can save you months of work in the lab at the minute cost of a few hours work with your computer. Although you’ll find standard biological terms throughout, don’t look here for long equations and computer-geek gibberish. The purpose of this book is to show you quickly and plainly how to use the bioinformatics programs that you need to get your work done.
On every page, we give you tricks and treats
to get the most out of existing tools. If you didn’t know that you can use the most sophisticated programs for free over the Internet — and that you can do this (sometimes) without installing anything on your own Computer — then stay tuned: You’re in for many more good surprises.
