《生物信息学初学者》为生物学领域内任何没有进行过常规生物信息分析的学生或科学家提供了一个连贯而友好的生物信息学处理方法。

本书讨论了理解生物信息学分析的理论基础所需的相关原则，并通过实例演示了使用免费的网络软件和公开的数据库进行有针对性的分析。作品避开了非必要的信息，注重原理和实践分析，并指出了许多进一步研究的方案。

Bioinformatics for Beginners provides a coherent and friendly treatment of bioinformatics for any student or scientist within biology who has not routinely performed bioinformatic analysis.

The book discusses relevant principles needed to understand the theoretical underpinnings of bioinformatic analysis, and demonstrates with examples targeted analysis using freely available web-based software and publicly available databases. Eschewing non-essential information, the work focuses on principles and hands-on analysis and points to many further study options.
