From the reviews:

"Today, the word 'bioinformatics' is most commonly used to denote computational molecular biology. ... This book collects surveys of the most significant themes of the field, written by various researchers. ... Extensive bibliographies accompany each chapter. ... the wide range of subject matter covered makes the book a good starting point for students or researchers with the necessary computer science background who are embarking on bioinformatics projects or research in the area." -- R. M. Malyankar, Computing Reviews, April, 2006
