Bioinformatics: Computational Approaches for Genomics and Proteomics

Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics

Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics is a guided tour to the new world of omics. In contrast with most other books on the subject, the work by Campbell and Heyer invites the reader to walk the walk by following a problem-based approach. The descriptive chapters are logically constructed and carefully blended with the case studies, resulting in stimulating and scientifically enriching reading...

Computational Proteomics and Genomics

Genomics is the study of the genome, i.e. the whole hereditary information of an organism that is encoded in the DNA (or, for some viruses, RNA). Investigation of single genes, their functions and roles is becoming common practice in today's medical and biological research. Genome-wide sequencing projects have been completed for many organisms, including Homo Sapiens. Currently thousands of gen...

breast cancer biomarker discovery: proteomics and genomics approaches

abstract breast cancer is one of the major health problems of the eastern world. regardless of the survival rate improvement with progression in screening and adjuvant systemic therapies, still one – third of the patients with primary breast cancer have recurrence of micro metastasis after 10 years.  it is important to discover a reliable biomarker for detection of breast cancer. the underlying...

Public access for teaching genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.

When the human genome project was conceived, its leaders wanted all researchers to have equal access to the data and associated research tools. Their vision of equal access provides an unprecedented teaching opportunity. Teachers and students have free access to the same databases that researchers are using. Furthermore, the recent movement to deliver scientific publications freely has presente...
