Summary

This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the use of bioinformatics to analyze genomic data. Covers basic studies of the genome as well as more advanced post-genomic analysis Features both biological problems and concepts from informatics Translated from a successful French edition that was itself based on a course at the well-respected Ecole Polytechnique in Paris
