InClinical Bioinformatics, Second Edition,leading experts in the field provide a series of articles focusing on software applications used to translate information into outcomes of clinical relevance. Recent developments inomics, such as increasingly sophisticated analytic platforms allowing changes in diagnostic strategies from the traditional focus on single or small number of analytes to what might be possible when large numbers or all analytes are measured, are now impacting patient care. Covering such topics as gene discovery, gene function (microarrays), DNA sequencing, online approaches and resources, and informatics in clinical practice, this volume concisely yet thoroughly explores this cutting-edge subject. Written in the successfulMethods in Molecular Biologyseries format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and easily accessible,Clinical Bioinformatics, Second Editionserves as an ideal guide for scientists and health professionals working in genetics and genomics.
