Rating:  - A practical introduction to programming for biologists
Although this book was written for biologists with no previous programming experience who have decided they need to learn to program in PERL, it is also useful for programmers entering the field of bioinformatics who need to learn the language. However, you should have some background in biology or else you'll be lost as to the purpose of the examples. That's because almost all of the examples and exercises are based on real biological problems, and this book will give you a good introduction to ... Read More
Rating:  - Reasonable book for learning Perl
For the students of molecular biology and genetics, and also other bioinformatics-related departments, this book is an above-average supply to study Perl.
Rating: - Mostly for the Biologist
People come to Bioinformatics from either the bio side or the CS side, with a few from various other disciplines. This book is best for the bio person who is getting into programming, not the programmer who is getting into bio.
For you CS types, I attended a tutorial by Tisdall on this material some years ago. One of the attendees asked why you needed an editor to code in Perl. That is the level that we are dealing with here!
It is a crime that biology and biochem students ... Read More
Rating: - Beginning Perl for BioInformatics
Excellent book. The perl programming language is the most versitile and powerful software tool available today. This book was written for Biologists to learn this incredible programming language. Examples are pulled from real problems Biologists face and explained in terms they can understand. The book is clearly written.
Rating: - excellent introduction...
i find this book is an excellent intoudction for one of the most intersting topic..The book is so easy to read if you know the elementary of molecular biology and begining introudction about perl. I do recommed this book to start with if you interested about programming for bioinformatics. You will be able to build simple bioinformatics programmes after reading this book as well as you will be able to understand easily how the commerically avaliable bioinformatics programs are working.
