Additional Information:

I think O'Reilly is heavly investing into Bioinformatics. Appart from the book which is reviewed here, there is also a Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics and the O'Reilly Bioinformatics Technology Conference upcoming.

Chapter 1 Biology in the Computer Age and an article about Computers + Biology = Bioinformatics by Cynthia Gibas, coauthor of Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills is available at O'Reilly's.

For those coming late to this discussion, I would like to point out that the O'Reilly list is no longer active. I suggest people look at the bioinformatics.org lists instead

Perl and Bioinformatics go well .. hand in hand. There are many modules and tools dedicated to Bioinformatics written in Perl. Here's a good site if you're interested in checking it out - bio.perl.org.
