Structuring its presentation around four main areas of study, this book covers the skills vital to the day-to-day activities of today's bioinformatician. Each chapter contains a series of maxims designed to highlight key points and there are exercises to supplement and cement the introduced material. Working with Perl presents an extended tutorial introduction to programming through Perl, the premier programming technology of the bioinformatics community. Even t
