Informatics In Proteomics
by Sudhir Srivastava (Editor)
Book Description:
A well-rounded resource for those involved with informatics tools useful in disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment, Informatics in Proteomics examines the application of statistical and bioinformatic tools in data analysis, presentation, and mining. It discusses the implementation of algorithms, statistical methods, and computer applications that facilitate pattern recognition and biomarker discovery by integrating data from multiple sources. The book also addresses the infrastructure needed for public protein databases, information management systems and user interfaces, as well as issues surrounding data standardization and integration of protein sequences recorded in the last two decades.

Review:
Captures the State of the Art and Points to New Potentials
Once considered a pretty well known part of biology, the study of proteins has become one of the most exciting, fastest changing area. The advent of molecular-based methods of genomics combined with new techniques in bioinformatics has opened dramatic new areas for research that offer some promise in the treatment of cancer.
Such a rapidly changing field is difficult to capture in a book written by any individual, it's simply changing too rapidly. In thisbrand new book (published June 28, 2005) Dr. Srivastava has gotten many of the most advanced researchers in the field to contribute articles that truly define the state of the art as it exists today. It also provides a vision for where the field is heading, including several chapters that point into areas where new research may yield significant results.
