Description for Evolutionary Bioinformatics
Paperback. Where most books on bioinformatics still serve gene-hunting biologists, this revised second edition takes a different approach that eschews tidy 'family trees' in favor of 'non-genic' areas of bioinformatics, such as exploring genomes as information channels. Num Pages: 531 pages, 13 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MFN; PBT; PSAJ; PSBC; PSD; PSVH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 27. Weight in Grams: 807.
Books on bioinformatics which began appearing in the mid 80s primarily served gene-hunters, and biologists who wished to construct family trees showing tidy lines of descent. Given the great pharmaceutical industry interest in genes, this trend has continued in most subsequent texts. These deal extensively with the exciting topic of gene discovery and searching databases, but hardly consider genomes as information channels through which multiple forms and levels of information, including genic information, have passed through the generations.
