Synopsis

The genome projects have now entered a rapid production phase with complete genome sequences and complete gene catalogues already available for a number of organisms and an increasing number expected shortly. In addition, the new DNA and protein chip technologies can produce functional data about genes such as gene expression profiles at a rapid rate. There is therefore a large and ever-increasing amount of data about genes and molecules. However there is still a huge gap between information at the molecular level and information at the level of integrated biological systems. It is this gap that is addressed in "Post-genome Informatics". Post-genome informatics is the analysis of biological functions in terms of the network of interacting molecules and genes with the aim of understanding how a biological system is organized from its individual building blocks. As well as containing a comprehensive survey of the database and computational technologies relevant to molecular sequence analysis, the book should provide the reader with a conceptual framework and practical methods for the representation and computation of molecular networks.

Revue de presse

"I would recommend this book to anyone as a very readable and relatively non-technical introduction to computational molecular biology" Statistical Methods in Medical Research

"As a whole the first three chapters would make a valuable basis for tutorial discussions for a final-year graduate students in Bioinformatics." Journal of Cell Science
