Summary
"Designed as a reliable, integrated reference for specialists, as well as an instructional manual for students and trainees in computational biology, bioinformatics, proteomics, molecular genetics (sometimes referred to as functional genomics), and related fields, the handbook can also serve as a practical resource for industrial executives in charge of bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics, as well as for science administrators in universities and scientific foundations. Lawyers, journalists, historians of science, forensic scientists, and medical professionals can also find this text useful as a desk reference and as a guide to the literature."--BOOK JACKET.
