Bioinformatics - Methods and Applications : Genomics, Proteomics and Drug Discovery

Designed as a text forstudents of molecular biology, pharmacy and bioinformatics, Bioinformatics Methods AndApplications covers theexciting and emerging field of Bioinformatics which stands at the confluence ofbiological sciences and IT. It encompasses the entire spectrum ofbioinformatics and covers newer topics and areas to make it such a fascinatingstudy. The text provides a detailed description and a critical examination ofthe various approaches to the study of genomes, proteomes and drug discoveryprocess. As drug discovery, one of the very important applications ofbioinformatics, has been significantly impacted by high-throughput technologiessuch as microarray technologies, these are emphasized. It is not merely thecomprehensiveness of the text that will capture the attention of the readers, butbeyond that, its weaving together, as in a fine fabric, the theory as well asthe methods and applications pertaining to genomes and proteomes makes the texta harmonious whole.
