I just came across a soft cover book released this year that I wanted to share with the biocomputing community. I assume it has not been mentioned here because so many of the contributing people on this network have also been involved with the production of the book. I feel that this book, Sequence Analysis Primer, along with the Biocomputing Tutorial book from Reinhard Doelz, will form a strong base for biocomputing and sequence analysis applications and instruction here at our institution. Sequence Analysis Primer offers background information, such as the principles of the methods, common problems of beginners, and an example showing steps for characterizing a new gene sequence. The book could be a valuable reference for beginners and advanced users of sequence software. Info on the book: Sequence Analysis Primer (c 1991) by Michael Gribskov and John Devereux Stockton Press, ISBN 1-56159-007-X (soft cover) I have no connection with the book, its contributing authors, or publisher other than a user and coordinator of the UWGCG programs here at our institution. I have been a silent reader of the useful information I have obtained on the network and wanted to make a contribution I felt could be important to many people.
