 Fresh and excellent contribution, 2006-04-04
This is a well researched book: equipped with interdisciplinary tools Bronwyn Parry takes us from the Peruvian rainforests, via botanical gardens and lab microscopes to our local pharmacy's shelves, to explore the ways in which commercial influence on genetic resources is increasing. While biotechnology has created a new extractive industry in genetic resources the traditional border between our notion of natural resources and digital information has become blurred. This is a fascinating emerging field with broader impact than we might think. For example, Parry analyses how the way we look at microbes and plant germ plasm has changed, including the cultural confrontations when market actors meet indigenous communities and laboratory researchers, respectively. The result is a fresh and excellent contribution that sheds light on new interfaces between nature and technology.

 It tells you what can be done but not how to do it., 2002-07-23
I found this book to be little more than a very basic introduction to bioinformatics. If you want a book to tell you what can be done then it useful, but it goes into very little detail. The ground it attempts to cover is far too large, it runs through an introduction to databases, LINUX and PERL. If you are interested in these you will need to buy a proper book for each subject.The book would have been a lot better if they had run through some examples of what you can do, showing you what can be done along the way. The authors should also acknowledge that most biologists only use Windows PCs and Macs rather than just concentrate on LINUX. It should have also mentioned that OS-X is based upon UNIX and lots of the LINUX things can be done on that OS too.

Excellent bioinformatics text book, 2005-07-07
This new 3rd edition is a much improved an updated version of the 2nd edition, which was already a reference text.
It is easy to read, the layout is excellent, the illustrations are plenty and informative, and the web links, problem sets and worked examples make this our first choice for a text book for students of all levels in bioinformatics. Highly recommended!
