Summary

The publicly available gene sequence databases, EMBL and GenBank, are doubling in size approximately every eighteen months. According to Moore's Law, which has held since the invention of the silicon chip, eighteen months is also the time frame in which computer power is expected to double. This book aims to help molecular biologists who are more at home at a laboratory bench than in front of a computer keyboard to use the technology of the Internet more effectively.
