Bioinformatics, Genome Analysis and Systems Biology: A Computational Approach - by Alexis White (Hardcover)

About the Book

Bioinformatics, genome analysis, and systems biology are integral fields in modern biological research. Bioinformatics makes use of computational tools and techniques to manage, analyze, and interpret biological data, facilitating discoveries in genomics and proteomics. Genome analysis focuses on the sequencing and examination of genomes, providing insights into genetic structures, functions, and variations, which are crucial for understanding heredity, evolution, and disease mechanisms. Systems biology takes a holistic approach, integrating data from genomics, proteomics, and other 'omics' to model and understand complex biological systems and their interactions. Together, these disciplines enable comprehensive investigations of biological processes, paving the way for advances in personalized medicine, drug discovery, and biotechnology. By combining computational power with biological knowledge, scientists can decipher the complexities of life at a molecular level, driving innovation in health and disease research. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of bioinformatics, genome analysis, and systems biology in an integrated manner. It unravels the recent studies in these fields that have contributed immensely in the field of science. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with these disciplines will benefit alike from this book.
