Advances in Bioinformatics - by Christina Marshall (Hardcover)

About the Book

Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of biology, computer science, and information technology. It comprises the development and application of computational tools and techniques to analyze and interpret biological data. By making use of algorithms, statistical models, and data mining approaches, bioinformatics aids in understanding complex biological processes, predicting protein structures and functions, identifying genetic variations associated with diseases, and designing novel drugs. It facilitates comparative genomics, evolutionary studies, and personalized medicine by integrating data from diverse sources and extracting meaningful inferences. Bioinformatics contributes to the development of databases, software tools, and computational algorithms. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of bioinformatics. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book. As this field is emerging at a fast pace, this book will help the readers to better understand the concepts of bioinformatics.
