"Introduction to Bioinformatics" provides a broad-based introduction to bioinformatics by following three, realworld examples throughout the book: retinol-binding protein, breast cancer, and a calcium binding site C2.

Wiley is proud to announce the publication of the first ever broad--based textbook introduction to Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics by a trained biologist, experienced researcher, and award--winning instructor. In this new text, author Jonathan Pevsner, winner of the 2001 Johns Hopkins University "Teacher of the Year" award, explains problem--solving using bioinformatic approaches using real examples such as breast cancer, HIV--1, and retinal--binding protein throughout. His book includes 375 figures and over 170 tables. Each chapter includes: Problems, discussion of Pitfalls, Boxes explaining key techniques and math/stats principles, Summary, Recommended Reading list, and URLs for freely available software. The text is suitable for professionals and students at every level, including those with little to no background in computer science.
