The field of bioinformatics is concerned with the development of methods and software tools used to understand biological data. It is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses techniques and concepts from biology, computer science, statistics, mathematics and information engineering for analyzing and interpreting biological data. Some of the applications of this field are identifying genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms. This helps in understanding the genetic basis of diseases, unique adaptations and differences between populations. It also tries to understand the principles of protein sequences. Some of the major areas of interest within this field are sequence analysis, gene and protein expression and cellular organization. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to bioinformatics. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied aspects of this field. It is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in bioinformatics.
