Praise from the reviews:
"Without reservation, I endorse this text as the bestresource I've encountered that neatly introduces and summarizesmany points I've learned through years of experience. Thegems of truth found in this book will serve well those who wish toapply bioinformatics in their daily work, as well as help themadvise others in this capacity." CIRCGENETICS
"This book may really help to get geneticists andbioinformaticians on 'speaking-terms'... contains someessential reading for almost any person working in the field ofmolecular genetics." EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HUMANGENETICS
"... an excellent resource... this book should ensure thatany researcher's skill base is maintained." GENETICALRESEARCH
"... one of the best available and most accessibletexts on bioinformatics and genetics in the postgenome age...The writing is clear, with succinct subsections within eachchapter....Without reservation, I endorse this text as the bestresource I've encountered that neatly introduces andsummarizes many points I've learned through years ofexperience. The gems of truth found in this book will serve wellthose who wish to apply bioinformatics in their daily work, as wellas help them advise others in this capacity."

A fully revised version of the successful First Edition, thisone-stop reference book enables all geneticists to improve theefficiency of their research.
The study of human genetics is moving into a challenging newera. New technologies and data resources such as the HapMap areenabling genome-wide studies, which could potentially identify mostcommon genetic determinants of human health, disease and drugresponse. With these tremendous new data resources at hand, morethan ever care is required in their use. Faced with the sheervolume of genetics and genomic data, bioinformatics is essential toavoid drowning true signal in noise. Considering these challenges,Bioinformatics for Geneticists, Second Edition works atmultiple levels: firstly, for the occasional user who simply wantsto extract or analyse specific data; secondly, at the level of theadvanced user providing explanations of how and why a tool worksand how it can be used to greatest effect. Finally experts fromfields allied to genetics give insight into the best genomics toolsand data to enhance a genetic experiment.
Hallmark Features of the Second Edition:
* Illustrates the value of bioinformatics as a constantlyevolving avenue into novel approaches to study genetics
* The only book specifically addressing the bioinformatics needsof geneticists
* More than 50% of chapters are completely new contributions
* Dramatically revised content in core areas of gene and genomiccharacterisation, pathway analysis, SNP functional analysis andstatistical genetics
* Focused on freely available tools and web-based approaches tobioinformatics analysis, suitable for novices and experiencedresearchers alike
Bioinformatics for Geneticists, SecondEdition describes the key bioinformatics and geneticanalysis processes that are needed to identify human geneticdeterminants. The book is based upon the combined practicalexperience of domain experts from academic and industrial researchenvironments and is of interest to a broad audience, includingstudents, researchers and clinicians working in the human geneticsdomain.
