Building Bioinformatics Solutions
Conrad Bessant, Darren Oakley, and Ian Shadforth
Abstract
This book provides an introduction to three of the main tools used in the development of bioinformatics software — Perl, R, and MySQL — and explains how these can be used together to tackle the complex data-driven challenges that typify modern biology. The book is intended to provide the reader with the knowledge and confidence needed to create databases, to write programs to analyse and visualise data, and to develop interactive web-based applications. Platform-independent examples are provided throughout, making the book suitable for users of Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
Keywords: bioinformatics, computational biology, programming, databases, software development, Perl, R, MySQL
