Bioinformatics Scope and Application

Description

A compact yet thorough textbook that offers a thorough introduction to the entire field is called Exploring Bioinformatics. First, the fundamentals of bioinformatics are presented, and then explanations of the cutting-edge computational tools available to address biological research issues are provided, written specifically for a life science audience. Biological databases, sequence alignment, gene and promoter prediction, molecular phylogenetics, structural bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics are only a few of the main fields of bioinformatics that are covered. The book places a strong emphasis on the operation of computational methods and contrasts their advantages and disadvantages. This fair-minded but approachable text will be invaluable for students without advanced computational backgrounds. Mathematical formulas are used sparingly to explain the technical intricacies of computer algorithms; in their place, pictorial examples are employed to facilitate understanding. This textbook is perfect for all bioinformatics courses taken by life science students and for researchers who want to advance their knowledge of bioinformatics to facilitate their own research. It does this by effectively synthesizing existing literature and providing in-depth and current coverage of all key bioinformatics topics.
