DESCRIPTION:
The exercises are highly relevant and the book covers major areas for next generation bioinformatics, making it suitable for beginners, but also experienced practitioners looking to try out analyses in a different domain." -- Kenneth Hon Kim BAN, MBBS, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, Assistant Principal Investigator, Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, A*STAR "The language used is relatively easy to understand for non-bioinformaticians. This is the book that I have been looking for. As a molecular geneticist starting to use NGS I find this book informative and practical for priming me with simple bioinformatics knowledge and skills." -- Teguh Haryo Sasongko, MD, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Human Genome Center, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. "The book is a great practical in
The skills required to apply computational analysis to target research on a wide range of applications that include identifying causes of cancer, vaccine design, new antibiotics, drug development, personalized medicine and higher crop yields in agriculture are highly sought after. The chapters are written to be standalone recipes making it suitable for readers who wish to self-learn selected topics. Readership: It is a necessary companion for undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and anyone interested in the exponentially growing field of bioinformatics.. It is an excellent hands-on material for teachers who conduct courses in bioinformatics and as a reference material for professionals. Readers will gain skills necessary to work on sequenced data from NGS platforms and hence making themselves more attractive to employers who need skilled bioinformaticians to handle the deluge of data. This invaluable book provides step-by-step guides to complex topics that make it easy for readers to perform essential analyses from raw sequenced data to answering important biological questions. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is increasingly common and has become cost-effective, generating an explosion of sequenced data that need to be analyzed. Rapid technological developments have led to increasingly efficient sequencing approaches
