A good way to find resources in this area is to use a word search
with keywords such as
"computational molecular biology"
or
"bioinformatics or biocomputing ".
2.1 Books and Texts
The library has many, many books
relevant to this course. To list them all would be useless. However,
a few that have been found to be particularly useful are mentioned
here.
- Reviews in Computational Chemistry, edited
by Lipkowitz & Boyd
-
- Structure Correlation, edited
by Bürgi & Dunitz
-
2.2 Journals and Magazines
- Journal of Computational Chemistry
-
2.3 Conference Proceedings
- The library seems to be getting all the
proceedings of
the RECOMB (Research in Computational Molecular Biology) conferences
3.1 Local
3.1.1 On-Line Documentation
3.1.2 News Groups
3.2 At Other Sites
3.2.1 General Information and Indexes
If you would like to find other external
sources of on-line information relating to Computer Science
and Biology, a good starting point is at
yahoo. They
have information under categories such as
Various other web sites provide meta-index services specifically
in the area of Computational Molecular Biology, Computational
Biology, Computational Biochemistry, etc. A few select ones are
3.2.2 Documentation, Reports, Diagrams, and Texts
-
BBID -- Biological Biochemical Image Database
3.2.3 Courses and Course Materials
3.2.4 News Services
3.2.5 Journals
-
Bioinformatics
-
(including
search and perusal of table-of-contents and abstracts)
-
Journal of Computational Biology
-
(titles, abstracts, and authors beginning with Volume 1, 1994)
-
Bioinform, A Bioinformatics News Service
-
(including headlines, abstracts, and a search engine)
-
Briefings in Bioinformatics

Online Journal of Bioinformatics
(OJB)
-
Internet Journal of Science -- Biological Chemistry

(both the Journal and a magazine)
-
special issues of Discrete Applied Mathematics
-
(specifically Vol 71, No 1-3 )
and to search all that literature, there is
3.2.6 Conferences

Conference Index Maintained by ISCB
3.2.7 Associations
-
ISCB
(International Society for Computational
Biology)
An amount of software is stored locally in directories
under /bkm/molbio.
Executables for UNIX platforms are typically in
/bkm/molbio/bin (choose the appropriate
subdirectory depending on the architecture you are using).
