Introduction to Bioinformatics
`Review from previous edition I have a very favourable opinion of this book. It covers the basics of all aspects of bioinformatics at a level that is very compatible with how I teach. The amount of material presented is appropriate for a one semester class. The problems are excellent: well thought out and plentiful.' Dr Mitrick A. Johns, Northern Illinois University, USA`I like Lesk's conceptual style. It is close to how I teach...it provides a little bit of web sites, a little bit of algorithms, a little bit of theory, and much casual exposure to a range of bioinformatics topics. It is easy to use as a text. ' Dr Lorraine Marsh, Long Island University, USA`This is a very good introductory textbook in bioinformatics. It is well-structured and nicely laid out. There are numerous examples and problems attached to each chapter, including the novel Weblems.' Dr Karen Page, University College London, UK`Overall the book is well laid out. There is a good mixture between information text and case studies. There is a good selection of recommended reading and problems at the end of each chapter. I like the learning goals at the beginning of each chapter and the plan of the book before chapter 1.' Dr Dawn Louise Arnold, University of the West of England, UK
