	Genomic Perl: From Bioinformatics Basics to Working Code
	By: Rex A. Dwyer ISBN: 052180177X Publisher: Cambridge University Press Release Date: 15 July, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 733494	This books tries to combine and explain both bioinformatics and perl programming yet fails miserably at both. Though I have taken a class on learning perl this code is difficult to read and poorly explained. The bioinformatics is useless because the examples are simply stupid. For example instead of using free energy to determine RNA folding the author uses hydrogen bonding which is completely irrelavent or predicting species by using %gc or %at content between two organsims also useless. If you are looking for bioinformatics programming tips this book will not help you.<br>Variables are introduced that are not explained and the program is written in the most condensed possible way making it difficult to read and leaving you wading through each line. I am thankful I have taken programming perl and bioinformatics or this book would be of zero value. If I could I would give this book a -5 stars. Check it out at a library before you BUY!!!!!!! Even if perl.com reviews the book favorably the biology is at best completely WRONG!!! Buy O'Riely's advanced bioinformatics. Combines intuitive derivations of most key algorithms, thoughtful use of key references to illustrate solutions of main problems with a detailed example, and develop well documented, carefully programmed,perl toolkit. The 65 routines on the CD in UNIX, Windows, and Mac formats perform most of the essential maipulations of GenBank sequences. I only miss Hidden Markov Model routines.
	The Genomics Age: How DNA Technology Is Transforming the Way We Live and Who We Are
	By: Gina Smith ISBN: 0814408435 Publisher: AMACOM Release Date: 05 November, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 447545	Gena Smith's new book, "The Genomics Age," is a clear guide that explains in layman's terms the current hot topics in the scientific world. Though not a scientist, Smith is well-known as the former technology correspondent for ABC and her radio shows. The book is a great guide to the debate on stem cells that's all over the news, and she writes wonderfully on the possible applications in the future of genomics and stem cells. <br /> <br />This book is an excellent demystifier for all the gene, genomics, and DNA topics in the news. It discusses bioethics and the ramifications and consequences of the "genomics" revolution coming about in our world. This book will give you a good understanding of things like what it means for the government to keep a database of DNA and other bio-features. I highly recommend this book. <br /> I bought this book a couple years back when a friend recommended it. I haven't ever taken so long to complete a book but finally, last week, two years later, I completed it. <br /> <br />I had never made it past 5 pages without falling asleep; thanks to this book, my sleeping medication is something I haven't had to take in a long time. I am very very upset that this book is done... Now, I have to read chapters at a time of other books to feel as tired as I do with this one. <br /> <br />Seriously, most of this review is 100% true. This might be a very good history book of DNA research but it's about as much fun as having a root canal while being gang raped in a prison shower. If you have to read this book for some reason, I suppose it is filled with the facts. If you don't have to read this book... Well... It's not much fun. Oh, there are lots of very BIG words though. I dont know a thing about DNA, except what I get from CSI-NY. Gina makes my feeble DNA-challenged mind get it and now understand why its so important.
	Functional Plant Genomics
	By: J. F. Morot-jGaudry, P. Lea, J. F. Briat ISBN: 1578085063 Publisher: Science Pub Inc Release Date: 30 August, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 880759
	Molecular Biology and Genomics (The Experimenter Series)
	By: Cornel Mulhardt ISBN: 0120885468 Publisher: Academic Press Release Date: 04 December, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 773585	The Experimenter Series is an excellent series and is very helpful in every day bench work. The books are nicely written and very easy to understand. <br />As I was very satisfied with this series so far, I wanted to have the newly released edition of the "Molecular Biology and Genomics" (published Dec. 2006). <br />However, after ordering it, I realized that this was the translation of the old 4th edition published back in 2003, although the fifth edition (in German) is already on the market since April 2006! <br /> <br />So when you urgently need a good Molecular biology book, go ahead and buy it, otherwise wait until the current German version is translated.
