Bioinformatics

"The book is a great practical introduction to the bioinformatics analysis of next generation sequencing data, covering all the major areas of analysis, from quality control and alignment to domain-specific analysis such as variant calling and transcriptomics. The book is highly practical with well-chosen and relevant exercises for readers who want to get their feet wet analysing sequencing data. It is excellent resource for conducting practical classes or workshops. The exercises are highly relevant and the book covers major areas for next generation bioinformatics, making it suitable for beginners, but also experienced practitioners looking to try out analyses in a different domain."Kenneth Hon Kim BAN, MBBS, PhDAssistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUSAssistant Principal Investigator, Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, A*STAR "The language used is relatively easy to understand for non-bioinformaticians. Sufficient simplifications have been successfully done in describing complex concepts while still maintaining clarity. This is the book that I have been looking for. As a molecular geneticist starting to use NGS I find this book informative and practical for priming me with simple bioinformatics knowledge and skills."Teguh Haryo Sasongko, MD, PhDSenior Lecturer, Human Genome Center, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia
