Summary, etc. Introduction to Bioinformatics 2/e introduces the student to the power of bioinformatics as a set of scientific tools. The book explains how to access the data archives of genomes and proteins, and the kind of questions these data and tools can answer - how to make inferences from the data archives, to make connections among them, and to derive useful and interesting predictions.On 26 June 2000, the completion of the draft sequence of the Human Genome saw the sciences of biology and medicine change forever. It promised new insights into our genetic make-up, how our genes shape who we are, and how we function, and new possibilities for an improved quality of life, exploiting new knowledge to design novel, more effective drugs. At the heart of this breakthrough lies a scientific discipline which is now one of the most important information gathering, data-mining, and knowledge-building tools in current research and healthcare development: bioinformatics.
