Digital Code of Life: How Bioinformatics is Revolutionizing Science, Medicine, and BusinessA behind-the-scenes look at the most lucrative discipline within biotechnology Bioinformatics represents a new area of opportunity for investors and industry participants. Companies are spending billions on the potentially lucrative products that will come from bioinformatics. This book looks at what companies like Merck, Glaxo SmithKline Beecham, and Celera, and hospitals are doing to maneuver themselves to leadership positions in this area. Filled with in-depth insights and surprising revelations, Digital Code of Life examines the personalities who have brought bioinformatics to life and explores the commercial applications and investment opportunities of the most lucrative discipline within genomics. Glyn Moody (London, UK) has published numerous articles in Wired magazine. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book Rebel Code. |

Gebruikersrecensie - name99 - LibraryThingThe bad news is that this book is written by a journalist, with all the pathologies that implies, including far far too many exact quotes, and an obsession with who, when, where rather than what and ... Volledige review lezen

Empirical considerations of the large amount of data now available on correlations between sequence and three dimensional structure (54), together with an increasing sophistication in the theoretical treatment of the energetics of polypeptide chain folding (55) are beginning to make more realistic the idea of the a priori prediction of protein conformation. It is certain that major advances in the understanding of cellular organization, and of the causes and...

Pagina 37 - Despite these uncertainties we feel that our proposed structure for deoxyribonucleic acid may help to solve one of the fundamental biological problems — the molecular basis of the template needed for genetic replication. The hypothesis we are suggesting is that the template is the pattern of bases formed by ono chain of the deoxyribonucleic acid and that the gene contains a complementary pair of such templates.
