Introduction to the Lab [intro-to-lab]
These constitute a good selection of papers to introduce one to the lab and the general field of bioinformatics.One might start with Luscombe et al. (2002) for an introduction to bioinformatics.
Specific fields are highlighted in other short papers:
In each list, it is probably best to read the papers listed first.
- Data integration for function prediction
- Gerstein et al. (2002), Bertone and Gerstein (2001), Greenbaum et al. (2001)
- Simulation on molecular structure
- Gerstein and Levitt (1998); Gerstein and Chothia (1999)
- Pseudogenes and genome annotation
- Gerstein and Snyder (2003); Harrison and Gerstein (2002)
- Structural genomics
- Gerstein (2000); Teichmann et al. (1999)
- E-publishing
- Gerstein (1999)
- Expression analysis
- Gerstein and Jansen (2000)
Unfortunately, none of these papers give one much detail on the mathematical or computational aspects of the work. For this, it's best to look at some samples of recent research, which are listed below, to get a sense of the type of mining that we are doing -- e.g. Yu & Gerstein (2006), Du et al. (2006), Lu et al., (2005), Yip et al., (2007), and Echols et al. (2003).
