{"product_id":"xml-for-bioinformatics-9780387230283","title":"XML for Bioinformatics","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduction The goal of this book is to introduce XML to a bioinformatics audience. It does so by introducing the fundamentals of XML  Document Type De?nitions (DTDs)  XML Namespaces  XML Schema  and XML parsing  and illustrating these concepts with speci?c bioinformatics case studies. The book does not assume any previous knowledge of XML and is geared toward those who want a solid introduction to fundamental XML concepts. The book is divided into nine chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction to XML for Bioinformatics. This chapter provides an introduction to XML and describes the use of XML in biological data exchange. A birds-eye view of our ?rst case study  the Distributed Annotation System (DAS)  is provided and we examine a sample DAS XML document. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the pros and cons of using XML in bioinformatic applications. Chapter 2: Fundamentals of XML and BSML. This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of XML and the Bioinformatic Sequence Markup Language (BSML). We explore the origins of XML  de?ne basic rules for XML document structure  and introduce XML Na- spaces. We also explore several sample BSML documents and visualize these documents in the TM Rescentris Genomic Workspace Viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948244500533,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387230289","price":46.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387230283.jpg?v=1794402785","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/xml-for-bioinformatics-9780387230283","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
