Modern bioinformatics encompasses a broad and ever-changing range of activities involved with the management and analysis of data from molecular biology experiments. Despite the diversity of activities and applications, the basic methodology and core tools needed to tackle bioinformatics problems is common to many projects. Building Bioinformatics Solutions provides a comprehensive introduction to this methodology, explaining how to acquire and use the most popular development tools, how to apply them to build processing pipelines, and how to make the results available through visualizations and web-based services for deployment either locally or via the Internet. The main development tools covered in this book are the MySQL database management system, the Perl programming language, and the R language for statistical computing. These industry standard open source tools form the core of many bioinformatics projects, both in academia and industry. The methodologies introduced are platform independent, and all the examples that feature have been tested on Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

This advanced textbook is suitable for graduate students and researchers in the life sciences who wish to automate analyses or create their own databases and web-based tools. No prior knowledge of software development is assumed. Having worked through the book, the reader should have the necessary core skills to develop computational solutions for their specific research programmes. The book will also help the reader overcome the inertia associated with penetrating this field, and provide them with the confidence and understanding required to go on to develop more advanced bioinformatics skills.

Inspiring book!

May 27, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book really helps to understand how one can use countless possibilities of modern bioinformatics through publicly available tools. I appreciate the inner logic of the text and accurate description of methods. Authors did a great work! I recommend this book to all biologists, who, like me, want to analyse their data themselves and in efficient way.

This is a very nice bioinformatics book. Concise and touching the point. Covers the very basic and practical skills on developing computational skills on biological question. After reading this book, I'm almost equipped the right tools, skills and directionality for practical research problems and more thoughtful organizations on my database. Highly recommend for everyone!

Eh, worth it I guess

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I think this is worth it if you have limited experience with programming and do not wish to dig into it more. Personally, I think that it is better to use other excellent books to learn Perl, R, and any databasing language (suggest MariaDB).

Great Book! Responsible Authors!

April 15, 2010

Format: Paperback

This is a great book, I am very satisfied with it.

In fact, this book combines the most popular tools in bioinformatics:Perl, R and MySQL.

Some of us may be expert for one or two of these tools. But how to systemically to use them together, this book gives answers.

It aslo gives direction of how to go further if you want to master one of these tools.

Plus,it has a lot of practical examples which you can easily transform for your own work.

And I must say the authors are very responsibe. They answered my questions promptly and in details. I really apprecitate this.

Thank you.
