A Bioinformatics Guide for Molecular Biologists

Informatics can vastly assist progress in research and development in cell and molecular biology and biomedicine. However, many investigators are either unaware of the ways in which informatics can improve their research or find it inaccessible due to a feeling of "informatics anxiety". To make these concepts more accessible, the editors approach the field of bioinformatics from the viewpoint of a molecular biologist. All concepts will be paired with recommendations for the appropriate programming environment and tools best suited to solve the particular problem at hand.
