Bioinformatics Software Engineering (eBook, PDF)

Delivering Effective Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Bioinformatics is one of the fastest growing disciplines in the life sciences. While biologists apply the software tools, there is a great need for the improvement of existing tools and the development of new ones. This book illustrates how software engineering techniques can be applied to such problems, providing biologists with a step-by-step guide to developing their own programs and showing IT specialists how they can apply their skills in the life sciences.
