I have been looking for good books on computational genomics or bioinformatics. However, most books that I have encounted either assume a biological background or is written in a rather long way.



This book is a great introduction for nonbiologist and is of reasonable length (less than 200 pages). A newbie should be able to learn the basics from this book. Each chapter provides a reading list, which includes both historically important references and references that are still of current interests.



The cases that are included in this book are relatively new and are still related to research frontiers in this field.
