The computational education of biologists is changing to prepare
students for facing the complex datasets of today's life science
research. In this concise textbook, the authors' fresh pedagogical
approaches lead biology students from first principles towards
computational thinking. A team of renowned bioinformaticians take
innovative routes to introduce computational ideas in the context of
real biological problems. Intuitive explanations promote deep
understanding, using little mathematical formalism. Self-contained
chapters show how computational procedures are developed and applied to
central topics in bioinformatics and genomics, such as the genetic basis
of disease, genome evolution or the tree of life concept. Using
bioinformatic resources requires a basic understanding of what
bioinformatics is and what it can do. Rather than just presenting tools,
the authors - each a leading scientist - engage the students'
problem-solving skills, preparing them to meet the computational
challenges of their life science careers.
