Overview

  • This book identifies the types of information that genomes transmit and it shows how competition between different types is resolved in the genomes of different organisms
  • The book is unique in emphasising non-genic aspects of bioinformatics
  • Forms of information that we are familiar with are related to forms we are less familiar with
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

Books on bioinformatics which began appearing in the mid 80s primarily served gene-hunters, and biologists who wished to construct family trees showing tidy lines of descent. Given the great pharmaceutical industry interest in genes, this trend has continued in most subsequent texts. These deal extensively with the exciting topic of gene discovery and searching databases, but hardly consider genomes as information channels through which multiple forms and levels of information, including genic information, have passed through the generations.
