Hands-on users and experts survey the key biological software packages, offering useful tips and an overview of current developments. Among the sequence analysis systems reviewed are GCG, Omiga, Mac Vector, DNASTAR, PepTool TM, GeneTool TM, and the Staden Package. Molecular biology software includes Genotator and sequence-similarity searching using FASTA, CLUSTAL multiple sequence alignment, and phylogenetic analysis. Web-based resources are examined for primary sequence databases, primary sequence analysis methods, and clinical databases useful in molecular medicine. Numerous illustrative examples to teach the reader how to solve problems are included. Bioinformatics: Methods and Protocols constitutes a gold-standard reference for today's scientists who wish to develop and hThis text meets the challenge of helping every scientist develop and hone bioinformatics skills. It provides an overview of the basic sequence analysis software packages available at most institutions and the design and implementation of an introductory bioinformatics course.
