… Chen and Lonardi present in this book a showcase of successful recent projects in the research area where biology, computer science, and statistics intersect. The editors have done a good job of pulling together the work of over 80 authors into a well-typeset product with high-resolution graphics and even several diagrams of proteins. … The authors leave no stone unturned in terms of topics and techniques. … There is a veritable alphabet soup of special software employed … there is something for everyone with an interest in bioinformatics in this book. Make sure your library has a copy, or that you buy one for yourselves.
