About The Book

Bioinformatics is a vague, general term used to encompass the use of applied mathematics to understand experimentally determined oligonucleotide and peptide sequences. The rapid increase in the size of the world's collection of these sequences has meant that manual methods are inadequate for the extraction information or patterns from this data. Bioinformatics now entails the creation and advancement of databases, algorithms, computational and statistical techniques and theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data. Over the past few decades rapid developments in genomic and other molecular research technologies and developments in information technologies have combined to produce a tremendous amount of information related to molecular biology. The basic textbook includes noted database management, address issues, ensuring timeliness and reliability, data documentation, peer review, computer education and training. The book would be of much use to the person working in the field of bioinformatics, computer science, biotechnology and applied statistics.
