About this book

The bestselling introduction to bioinformatics and functional genomics – now in an updated edition

Widely received in its previous edition, Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics offers the most broad-based introduction to this explosive new discipline. Now in a thoroughly updated and expanded Second Edition, it continues to be the go-to source for students and professionals involved in biomedical research.

This edition provides up-to-the-minute coverage of the fields of bioinformatics and genomics. Features new to this edition include:
- Several fundamentally important proteins, such as globins, histones, insulin, and albumins, are included to better show how to apply bioinformatics tools to basic biological questions
- A completely updated companion web site, which will be updated as new information becomes available – visit www.wiley.com/go/pevsnerbioinformatics
- Descriptions of genome sequencing projects spanning the tree of life
- A stronger focus on how bioinformatics tools are used to understand human disease

Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics is complemented by lavish illustrations and more than 500 figures and tables – fifty of which are entirely new to this edition. Each chapter includes a Problem Set, Pitfalls, Boxes explaining key techniques and mathematics/statistics principles, Summary, Recommended Reading, and a list of freely available software. Readers may visit a related Web page for supplemental information at www.wiley.com/go/pevsnerbioinformatics.
