An accessible guide that introduces students in all areas of life sciences to bioinformatics
Basic Applied Bioinformatics provides
a practical guidance in bioinformatics and helps students to optimize
parameters for data analysis and then to draw accurate conclusions from
the results. In addition to parameter optimization, the text will also
familiarize students with relevant terminology. Basic Applied Bioinformatics is
written as an accessible guide for graduate students studying
bioinformatics, biotechnology, and other related sub-disciplines of the
life sciences.
This accessible text outlines the basics of
bioinformatics, including pertinent information such as downloading
molecular sequences (nucleotide and protein) from databases; BLAST
analyses; primer designing and its quality checking, multiple sequence
alignment (global and local using freely available software);
phylogenetic tree construction (using UPGMA, NJ, MP, ME, FM algorithm
and MEGA7 suite), prediction of protein structures and genome
annotation, RNASeq data analyses and identification of differentially
expressed genes and similar advanced bioinformatics analyses. The
authors Chandra Sekhar Mukhopadhyay, Ratan Kumar Choudhary, and Mir Asif
Iquebal are noted experts in the field and have come together to provide an updated information on bioinformatics.
Salient features of this book includes:
- Accessible and updated information on bioinformatics tools
- A practical step-by-step approach to molecular-data analyses
- Information
pertinent to study a variety of disciplines including biotechnology,
zoology, bioinformatics and other related fields
- Worked examples, glossary terms, problems and solutions
Basic Applied Bioinformatics gives
students studying bioinformatics, agricultural biotechnology, animal
biotechnology, medical biotechnology, microbial biotechnology, and
zoology an updated introduction to the growing field of bioinformatics.
