| Summary: | The Internet and the New Biology: Tools for Genomic and Molecular Research explores and explains the computational biology tools found on the Internet and how they can be applied to problems in genomic and molecular biology. This useful how-to guide provides essential information and practical instruction on ways to use the Internet to answer these four basic questions: How do I submit sequence data to public sequence database? How do I search a sequence against the public databases? How do I look for sequence motifs, such as promoters or splice sites? How do I retrieve sequences from the public databases? To answer these questions, the authors concentrate on the simplest component of the Internet - e-mail servers - but also highlight and demonstrate the use of two other practical and important components of the Internet: Gopher and the World Wide Web. A unique feature of this guide is the associated interactive Web site that describes and bookmarks all the servers discussed in the book. This Web site also offers updates on new sites and interesting developments in the field and provides the opportunity for feedback and comments from users. The Internet and the New Biology serves as a valuable introduction to Internet services in molecular biology and will be a vital laboratory reference for scientists who use Internet resources for sequence analysis. |
