The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, tools, and applications of bioinformatics with emphasis on biological data analysis and modern computational approaches in life sciences. The book explains the generation, organization, storage, retrieval, and interpretation of biological data including DNA, RNA, protein sequences, structural information, and gene expression datasets.
The text systematically covers various biological databases such as GenBank, UniProt, Protein Data Bank (PDB), KEGG, PubMed, and crop genome databases, highlighting their structure, functions, and applications in biological research and agriculture. Detailed discussions on sequence alignment, scoring matrices, heuristic methods, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis, and molecular visualization tools help readers understand computational analysis of biological systems.
Special emphasis is given to bioinformatics tools used in genomics, proteomics, comparative genomics, metabolic pathway analysis, and agricultural bioinformatics. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in biotechnology, molecular biology, genetics, and computational biology, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding biological databases and modern bioinformatics applications in research and innovation.
