Integrative Omics : Concept, Methodology, and Application

Integrative Omics: Concept, Methodology and Application provides a holistic and integrated view of defining and applying network approaches, integrative tools, and methods to solve problems for the rationalization of genotype to phenotype relationships. The reference provides systemic ‘step-by-step’ coverage that begins with basic concepts from Omic to Multi Integrative Omics approaches followed by applications and emerging and future trends. All areas of Omics are covered, including biological databases, sequence alignment, pharmacogenomics, nutrigenomics and microbial omics, integrated omics for Food Science and Identification of genes associated with disease, clinical data integration and data warehousing, translational omics, technology policy, and society research. This book covers recent concepts, methodologies, advancements in technologies and is also well-suited for researchers from both academic and industry background, undergraduate and graduate students who are mainly working in the area of computational systems biology, integrative omics and translational science.

• Provides a holistic, integrated view of a defining and applying network approach, integrative tools, and methods to solve problems for rationalization of genotype to phenotype relationships
• Offers an interdisciplinary approach to Databases, data analytics techniques, biological tools, network construction, analysis, modeling, prediction and simulation of biological systems leading to ‘translational research’, i.e., drug discovery, drug target prediction, and precision medicine
• Covers worldwide methods, concepts, databases, and tools used in the construction of integrated pathways

Dr. Manish Kumar Gupta is Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at Uttar Pradesh. Dr. Gupta has published more than twelve research papers, published one edited book, five book chapters and given more than twenty-seven invited lectures. Dr. Gupta is life member of various academic societies such as Federation of Asian Biotechnology Association (FABA), Association of Microbiologist of India (AMI), Society of Environmental Sustainability (Founder member) and Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA). Dr. Gupta’s focus of the research work is to extract the key regulatory elements participating in the disease pathways through integrative biology approach. To investigate those, biological tools & databases with big scale data sets generated by state-of-the-art high-throughput technology integrated for computational analysis.
