Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics 3rd Edition

I have a BS in science and am studying for another BS in computer science. I purchased this textbook because I hope to become a research analyst some day.PROS:1) What one needs to know is textbook doesn't hold back. It is written with great detail.2) A load of information (i.e. the index is impressive - to say the least).3) Price, I've spent $200 on organic chemistry textbooks. This well priced for the information provided. Trust me.CONS:1) It's strength I numbered as number one for me is also it's greatest weakness. The textbook doesn't hold back providing diagrams / pictures of early old software of the start of this field. Giving a real depth. However, old software and early graphs were, how should we say? Bland. There is no way really around this but I could see it being a tough read for a younger student (i.e. undergrads). If you can push through this you will greatly learn from this textbook.An easy recommend.

I am a few chapters in but learning a lot, I will update when I am done. It's nice how it's geared towards the NCBI NIH.

Great reference for anyone interested in bioinformatics and genomics. Everything is given clear context and offers useful tools and methods that are (hopefully) going to remain consistent for a good number of years.

Do not purchase the international edition. It is completely worthless and different from the US edition. The main point is that it is printed on black and white papers and NOT colored pages. The book itself is very heavy and huge compared to the light quality printing of the US edition. I completely regretting its purchase and wish to return it. Besides, it come with a logo on its back as ILLEGAL FOR SALE OUTSIDE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT. So, why amazon forced me to that option. I really want it back and my money too.

Ok price

good book

The book is wonderful and arrived at a time when I needed it for my niece. She is so happy.

The spine of the book is torn and half the pages are folded, not worth $100.
