This book introduces readers to the basic principles of bioinformatics and the practical
application and utilization of computational tools without assuming any prior background in
programming or informatics. It provides a coherent overview of the complex field and focuses on
the implementation of online tools genome databases and software that can benefit scientists
and students in the life sciences. Training tutorials with practical bioinformatics exercises
and solutions facilitate the understanding and application of such tools and interpretation of
results. In addition a glossary explains terminology that is widely used in the field. This
straightforward introduction to applied bioinformatics offers an essential resource for
students as well as scientists seeking to understand the basis of sequencing analysis
functional genomics and protein structure predictions.
