- Essential guide for scientists written by a team of experts
- Useful descriptions of core databases to help users use PubMed, Entrez, and other databases more effectively
- Several examples of biological applications of web technologies provided
- Unlike most books that discuss online molecular biology databases which have a bioinformatics bent and some emphasis on algorithms, this volume caters to bench scientists who have a serious interest in developing skills in the use of the Internet to support their work.
- Building upon a survey of existing online resources, the authors turn to issues related to adding to this wealth of information - such as how (and why) to build a laboratory web site.
- The book includes several web resource tables
Thanks to communication technologies, and particularly the Internet, we now take immediate access to enormous quantities of information for granted. And thanks to "the new biology", building on the genome projects, some scientists are predicting that cures for the majority of known diseases could be readily available within two generations. This book aims to help the practitioners of the second revolution, the molecular biologists who are more at home at a laboratory bench than in front of a computer keyboard, to use the Internet more effectively. Sansom and Horton provide a broad introduction to using Internet based computing resources to support research in molecular
biology. After surveying the core databases and other online resources, the focus shifts to tools and techniques for exploiting and authoring Internet-distributed information. Later chapters provide detailed examples of how technologies such as molecular visualisation, VRML and XSLT can be applied to biological problems.Readership: 1) Biological and Biomedical researchers - to make better use of on-line resources; be more effective in publishing and publicising their own work on the Web.
2) Educators - to introduce students to these technologies
3) Bioinformaticians - examples of biological applications of Internet technologies
