DICTIONARY OF BIOINFORMATICS - K. Manikandakumar - Bog

Bioinformatics is a field that presents one of the grand challenges of today. The field is faced with a strong demand for immediate solutions, because the genomic and post-genomic data that are being collected harbour many biological insights whose deciphering can be the basis for dramatic scientific and economical success, and is promising to have a large impact on society. Recent developments in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and other areas have produced a wealth of experimental data on sequences and three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules. Consequently, the service of various computational methods of analysis to obtain useful information has now turned out to be a major new discipline as Bioinformatics. The Dictionary of Bioinformatics is a vital reference for important terms, offering students and researchers a convenient summary of the core knowledge of the field, with concise and accurate definitions of over 2200 words, phrases, and concepts. This invaluable resource provides a comprehensive guide for anyone involved in bioinformatics, from beginners to experienced professionals, and serves as an essential tool for understanding and interpreting the vast amount of biological data being generated.
