Abstract

The Advanced Text series is designed for students taking advanced-level courses, including final year undergraduates and taught MSc. Marine microbiology is a rapidly expanding subject. New tools and an increased interest in ecological factors have caused an upsurge of interest in this field of study. This book aims to convey the fascinating discoveries and great importance of this fast-moving discipline to the student. Proteomics is a major new area of scientific research driven by the growing information gap between genes and their functions. Large-scale DNA sequencing and annotation projects identify thousands of new genes on a daily basis but the functions of these genes remain largely unknown. Proteins are the actual functional molecules of the cell, and technical advances in the high-throughput analysis of proteins now allow these molecules to be studied directly. Principles of Proteomics provides a comprehensive introduction to this relatively new field, for the first time bringing together all the disparate themes of proteomics. The book covers the development of large-scale technologies for protein separation, isolation, detection and quantitation. It describes in detail the role of mass spectrometry in high-throughput protein annotation. It also covers the emerging fields of structural proteomics, interaction proteomics and the recent development of chip-based analysis techniques. The final chapter provides some examples of how proteomics is being applied in the fields of medicine, biotechnology and agriculture.

Abstract

DNA sequencing has become increasingly efficient over the years, resulting in an enormous increase in the amount of data gener­ ated. In recent years, the focus of sequencing has shifted, from being the endpoint of a project, to being a starting point. This is especially true for such major initiatives as the human genome project, where vast tracts of DNA of unknown function are sequenced. This sheer volume of available data makes advanced computer methods essen­ tial to analysis, and a familiarity with computers and sequence analy­ sis software a vital requirement for the researcher involved with DNA sequencing. Even for nonsequencers, a familiarity with sequence analysis software can be important. For instance, gene sequences already present in the databases can be extremely useful in the design of cloning and genetic manipulation experiments. This two-part work on Computer Analysis of Sequence Data is designed to be a practical aid to the researcher who uses computers for the acquisition, storage, or analysis of nucleic acid (and/or pro­ tein) sequences. Each chapter is written such that a competent scien­ tist with basic computer literacy can carry out the procedure successfully at the first attempt by simply following the detailed prac­ tical instructions that have been described by the author. A Notes section, which is included at the end of each chapter, provides advice on overcoming the common problems and pitfalls sometimes encoun­ tered by users of the sequence analysis software.

Abstract

Bioinformatics for Geneticists describes a step by step approach to key bioinformatics and genetic analysis procedures, based upon practical experience gained after many years of direct bioinformatics support for laboratory geneticists. It features detailed case studies of problems and analytical approaches that are specific to the needs of the genetics researcher. The book contains reviews of bioinformatics tools and genetic databases. Each chapter is written to capture the principles of analysis regardless of the tool used, thereby ensuring that the book stays relevant as new data and tools become available. As the first book specifically addressing the informatics requirements of geneticists, Bioinformatics for Geneticists is essential reading for all those engaged in genetic research and should prove indispensable for both the planning and analysis of such studies. The book provides in-depth coverage of the underlying principles of both genetic and bioinformatic analysis which should make this book suitable for all students of genetics or bioinformatics. The book takes a web-based approach to bioinformatics, suitable for bot h internet novices and more experienced web users. The focus is on public software tools and databases freely available to all. The editors and authors bring a broad range of experience from academic and industrial genetics research environments. The book is accessible to individuals outside the immediate field of molecular genetics, e.g. statisticians, epidemiologists and physicians who wish to improve their knowledge of bioinformatics and genetics. This is currently the only book specifically aimed at the bioinformatics needs and priorities of genetics researchers.
