An annotated list of bioinformatics books and links (under construction)



Actually, this page is defunct and being dismembered. See my course for links, distributed over a number of pages.



For books, the links are to the corresponding amazon.com page.



Pages of links

Bioinformatics links = http://www.ii.uib.no/~inge/list.html. An outstanding page of links.



Courses

Representations and Algorithms for Computational Molecular Biology, a course at Stanford, Spring 1999 This looks very useful.

Statistics in genetics (a course at UC Berkeley)

Principles of computational biology (a course at Johns Hopkins, Fall 1999) = http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~salzberg/cs439.html. A really well-thought-out syllabus, with lots of useful links.

Computational Molecular Biology (a course at Washington University) = http://www.genetics.wustl.edu/bio5495. Another good syllabus. (Sometimes I have trouble with this link.)

Flinders Microbiology. An extremely cool web-course on microbiology. Look for the "choose all the lecture notes on one page" option (at certain points), which make it easier to read the course notes.

UNMC (University of Nebraska Medical Center) Genetic Sequence Analysis Course = http://molbio.unmc.edu/courses/course-notes. This is a very nice how-to software guide, targetted at people who already have considerable knowledge of molecular biology. It does not address issues of how the software works.

Methods in Biophysics 1998/99 (a course at UNC Chapel Hill) = http://hekto.med.unc.edu:8080/COURSES/150.html. This looks interesting, but it is just a bare-bones syllabus; there are (for example) no references to the literature.



Other

Access Excellence: About Biotech

Principles of Protein Structure Using the Internet

Computational biosciences at ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) = "http://compbio.ornl.gov". ORNL is a big research center in the field; this site describes their program and software.

Recombinant DNA by James D. Watson, Michael Gilman, and others. (626 pages, December 1992; $63.95 as of 11/99). This is a highly regarded classic in the field (which I haven't looked at). One drawback: it badly needs to be updated.

Genes VI by Benjamin Lewin, Paul Siliciano, and Martin Klotz. This is a standard reference (which I haven't seen). It elicits strong comments, both positive and negative -- see the link.

Computational Methods in Molecular Biology ed. by Steven L. Salzberg, David B. Searls, and Simon Kasif. This looks like an interesting book. I just ordered it.

The Computational Structural Biology Program, Lawrence Berkeley Lab

The Sanger Centre's links page. This includes a list of genome centers.
