[Biojava-l] [Off the Topic ] Bioinformatics for software engineers?

[Richard Holland]

Your best bet is a good old fashioned book. ;)

A quick search on Amazon threw up this one which looks like a very
helpful intro to cell biology for people like you (and me!) who have
come to bioinformatics from a computer science background:

http://www.amazon.com/Bioinformatics-Genes-Proteins-Computers-Advanced/dp/1859960545/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232102747&sr=1-4

Hopefully this is a good starting point. I'm sure everyone on this list
has their own favourite books which they could recommend to you as well.

cheers,
Richard
