Review articles on bioinformatics

[ctzhang at tju.edu.cn]

Dear netters:

Several days ago, I asked "Could any one provide me some references of 
recent review articles on bioinformatics?" , then almost immediately, I 
received many letters. To my surprise, most of these letters are not about
the reply, on the contrary, they kindly asked me to re-post the messages to 
them. So I think this topic may interest many people.

Now I summarize the responses as follows:

Printed sources about BioInformatics & the InterNet.
Resources, Reviews 1993-1996.

for the biologist.  Rob Harper (EBI).

hunting for genes in computer data bases.  Mark Boguski (NCBI).

Century.  Mark Johnson et al. (Turku, Fi)

(1996) R.F. Doolittle Ed.; Academic Press. Up-to-date, and very
comprehensive.

Science 273: 545-708 (21 Aug. 1996) Not the entire issue, of course, but
there is a concentration of good articles there.

I would like to thank specially the folowing netters:

Dr. Andrew Lloyd
Dr. Georg Fuellen
Dr. Iddo Friedberg

Without their kind help, we can not have so much useful information.
