生物信息学 -- 将计算和分析方法应用于生物学问题 -- 是一个迅速发展的科学领域。基因组测序工作正在产生来自许多不同有机体的大量生物学数据，这些数据被更多地存储于公共数据库。没有基于计算机的辅助工具，即便是最热心的研究者在此领域工作也是不可能的。生物信息学就是要构建此类工具。
《生物信息学中的计算机技术》行文简明，引人入胜，是对生物信息学中一些最重要主题的创见性导论。本书介绍并解释用于生物信息学研究的许多流行软件工具，还包括背景理论，以帮助理解怎样充分运用这些工具和为什么这些工具是重要的。
《生物信息学中的计算机技术》涵盖：
*生物信息学工作站构建
*面向生物学工作者的Unix
*适于在生物学序列、基因组和分子结构数据库中搜索信息的计算技术
*基因鉴别工具和基因家族特征图谱检测工具
*系统发育关系、分子结构和生化性质的模拟工具
*数据处理和数据分析过程自动化
*数据库组建
*数据提取和数据可视化工具
无论是初学生物学计算方法的学生，还是正要用计算机处理数据的有经验的研究者，本书将助你拓展对生物学数据的规划探讨和对所需分析工具的坚实理解。

Cynthia Gibas是位于弗吉尼亚州Blackburg的弗吉尼亚理工学院的生物学副教授。她在计算生物学受到青睐之前就已经是计算生物学家了。目前她正在推动全新的家庭Linux集群。她的研究兴趣包括基因组结构和进化、蛋白质表面和界面特性，以及蛋白质结构预测。她为生物学家们讲授生物信息学方法的课程。她正期盼着下一个假期的来临，可能在2006年的某个时候。
Cynthia Gibas is an assistant professor of biology at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg,Virginia. She's been a computational biologist since before computational biology was cool, and is currently learning to drive her spankin' new home-built Linux cluster. Her research interests include the structure and evolution of genomes, the properties of protein surfaces and interfaces, and prediction of protein structure. She teaches introductory courses in bioinformatics methods for biologists and islooking forward to her next real vacation, sometime in 2006.

Per Jambeck是加州大学圣迭戈分校生物工程系的博士研究生。他从1994年开始从事计算生物学的研究，兴趣主要集中在如何将机器学习应用于多维生物学数据的理解。在谈及空闲时间时，Per总是充满渴望地微笑着，他时常组织主持社区演出和学生广播站。
Per Jambeck is a Ph.D. student in the bioengineering department at the University of California, San Diego. He has worked on computational biology problems since 1994, concentrating on machine learning applications in understanding multidi-mensional biological data. Per smiles wistfully at the mention of free time, but he manages to host shows at community and student-run radio stations anyway.
 
 
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feed-back from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.
The animal on the cover of Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills is Caenorhabditis elegans, a small nematode worm. Unlike many of its nastier para-sitic cousins, C. elegans lives in the soil where it feeds on microbes and bacteria. It grows to about 1 mm in length.
In spite of its status as a "primitive" organism, C. elegans shares with H. sapiens many essential biological characteristics. C. elegans begins life as a single cell that divides and grows to form a multicellular adult. It has a nervous system and a brain (more properly known as the circumpharyngeal ring) and a muscular system that supports locomotion. It exhibits behavior and is capable of rudimentary learning. Like humans, it comes in two sexes, but in C. elegans those sexes consist of a male and a self-fertilizing hermaphrodite. C. elegans is easily grown in large numbers in the laboratory, has a short (2-3 week) lifespan, and can be manipu-lated in sophisticated experiments. These characteristics make it an ideal organism for scientific research.
The C. elegans hermaphrodite has 959 cells, 300 of which are neurons, and 81 of which are muscle cells. The entire cell lineage has been traced through develop-ment. The adult has a number of sensory organs in the head region which respond to taste, smell, touch, and temperature. Although it has no eyes, it does react slightly to light. C. elegans has approximately 17,800 distinct genes, and its genome has been completely sequenced. Along with the fruit fly, the mouse, and the weed Arabidopsis, C. elegans has become one of the most studied model organisms in biology since Sydney Brenner first focused his attention on it decades ago.
Mary Anne Weeks Mayo was the production editor and copyeditor for Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills. Rachel Wheeler proofread the book. Linley Dolby and Sheryl Avruch provided quality control. Gabe Weiss, Edie Shapiro, Matt Hutchinson, and Sada Preisch provided production assistance. Joe Wizda wrote the index.
Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is an original illustration created by Lorrie LeJeune, based on a photograph supplied by Leon Avery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.
Melanie Wang designed the interior layout based on a series design by Nancy \ Priest. Cliff Dyer converted the files from MSWord to FrameMaker 5.5 using tools created by Mike Sierra. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book; the code font is Constant Willison. The illustrations for this book were created by Robert Romano and Lucy Muellner using Macromedia Freehand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. This colophon was written by Lorrie LeJeune.
Whenever possible, our books use a durable and flexible lay-flat binding. If the page count exceeds this binding's limit, perfect binding is used.
