Discovering Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics

A first textbook for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students which combines integrated Web exercises with a problem-solving approach to train students in basic hands-on genomic analysis. Features include an inquiry approach to give students hands-on practice and buid on problem-solving skills, students learn to use databases and how to extract pertinent information. "Math Minutes" supply brief tutorials that reveal the math behind the biology and illustrate how investigators apply math in solving specific biology problems.

Case studies and real-world examples provide a context for understand the experiments and results and integrated multimedia and Web resources directed students to a full methods index, relevant Web links and animations that allow them to research and analyse real genomics data as they work their way through each chapter.
