Hello all,
I am a molecular biologist and want to break into the field of
computational biology from this side. Can anyone please recommend good
beginners texts in algorithms (one that does not assume a lot of math,
maybe leaning toward biological applications), bioinformatics,
programming
etc. that can get me up and running. I have fairly clear ideas of what
I
want to achieve but want to learn what tools exist for me out there and
how
I can tinker with those tools to ask new questions.
I'm probably asking a lot but any ideas on books or the kind of approach
I
should take would be most appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
