Bioinformatics, computational biology, is a relatively new field that applies computer science
and information technology to biology. In recent years, the discipline of bioinformatics has
allowed biologists to make full use of the advances in Computer sciences and Computational
statistics for advancing the biological data. Researchers in life sciences generate, collect and
need to analyze an increasing number of different types of scientific data, DNA, RNA and
protein sequences, in-situ and microarray gene expression including 3D protein structures and biological
pathways. This book is aiming to provide information on bioinformatics at various levels.
The chapters included in this book cover introductory to advanced aspects, including applications
of various documented research work and specific case studies related to bioinformatics.
This book will be of immense value to readers of different backgrounds such as engineers,
scientists, consultants and policy makers for industry, government, academics and social
and private organisations.
Written for scientists and researchers at universities and research institutes, engineers, consultants
and policy makers in industry and social/private organisations
