Textbook Of Bioinformatics

Description

Bioinformatics was applied in the creation and maintenance of a database to store biological information at the beginning of the genomic revolution, such as nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Development of this type of database involved not only design issues but the development of complex interfaces whereby researchers could both access existing data as well as submit new or revised data. In order to study how normal cellular activities are altered in different disease states, the biological data must be combined to form a comprehensive picture of these activities. This book aims to introduce the various avenues to which Bioinformatics can be applied as well as help further the respective causes. It is hoped that the book will serve the purpose of students and scholars on the subject and can be useful to them in allied fields.
