All About Bioinformatics

All About Bioinformatics: From Beginner to Expert provides readers with an overview of the fundamentals and advances in the _x001F_field of bioinformatics, as well as some future directions. Each chapter is didactically organized and includes introduction, applications, tools, and future directions to cover the topics thoroughly. The book covers both traditional topics such as biological databases, algorithms, genetic variations, static methods, and structural bioinformatics, as well as contemporary advanced topics such as high-throughput technologies, drug informatics, system and network biology, and machine learning. It is a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students who are interested to learn more about bioinformatics to apply in their research work. - Presents a holistic learning experience, beginning with an introduction to bioinformatics to recent advancements in the field - Discusses bioinformatics as a practice rather than in theory focusing on more application-oriented topics as high-throughput technologies, system and network biology, and workflow management systems - Encompasses chapters on statistics and machine learning to assist readers in deciphering trends and patterns in biological data
