| Short description
The amount of data generated in molecular biology using high-throughput genomics and proteomics technologies is vast and proliferating rapidly. The successful application of such data in biomedical research requires carefully, continuously curated and accurately annotated databanks. Annotations often depend on features inferred rather than directly observed or measured: for instance, the identification of genes in genome sequences. Annotation is emerging as a specialist field within bioinformatics with its own set of techniques and associated skills. Database Annotation in Molecular Biology is the first book to address the vital and emerging field of biological database curation and annotation.
