Résumé

Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to NCBI Databases and Sequence Alignments provides the basics of bioinformatics and in-depth coverage of NCBI databases, sequence alignment, and NCBI Sequence Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST).

Texte suppl.

Bioinformaticsis a necessary text that will help researchers/students gain background knowledge and understand the usage of NCBI databases.It is well suited for audiences who do not have a bioinformatics backgroundas it defines what genomic data is and the fundamentalsof the sequence alignment. It also thoroughly explains how to use NCBI tools to retrieve the researchers' genomic data of interest.
