Understanding Bioinformatics
Suitable for advanced undergraduates & postgraduates, this book provides a definitive guide to bioinformatics. It takes a conceptual approach & guides the reader from first principles through to an understanding of the computational techniques & the key algorithms.
Essentials of Bioinformatics, Volume I
Bioinformatics is an integrative field of computer science, genetics, genomics, proteomics, and statistics, which has undoubtedly revolutionized the study of biology and medicine in past decades. It mainly assists in modeling, predicting and interpreting large multidimensional biological data by utilizing advanced computational methods. Despite its enormous potential, bioinformatics is not widely integrated into the academic curriculum as most life science students and researchers are still not equipped with the necessary knowledge to take advantage of this powerful tool. Hence, the primary purpose of our book is to supplement this unmet need by providing an easily accessible platform for students and researchers starting their career in life sciences. This book aims to avoid sophisticated computational algorithms and programming. Instead, it mostly focuses on simple DIY analysis and interpretation of biological data with personal computers. Our belief is that once the beginners acquire these basic skillsets, they will be able to handle most of the bioinformatics tools for their research work and to better understand their experimental outcomes. Unlike other bioinformatics books which are mostly theoretical, this book provides practical examples for the readers on state-of-the-art open source tools to solve biological problems. Flow charts of experiments, graphical illustrations, and mock data are included for quick reference. Volume I is therefore an ideal companion for students and early stage professionals wishing to master this blooming field.

Bioinformatics is a hybrid science that connects biological data with techniques for information storage, distribution, and analysis to support multiple areas of scientific research including biomedicine. Bioinformatics is dependent upon high-throughput data-generating experiments that consist of genomic sequence determinations and measurements of gene expression patterns. As an interdisciplinary science domain, bioinformatics utilizes and amalgamates biology, mathematics and statistics to analyse and interpret biological data. It encompasses biological studies that utilise computer programming as part of its methodology as well as a specific analysis pipeline that are used in the field of genomics. In the field of medicine especially, a number of important applications for bioinformatics have been discovered. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of bioinformatics. It picks up individual branches and explains their need and contribution in the context of a growing economy. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of this subject.
