A Practical intro; to genetic analysis of biological data (DNA, RNA and proteins), disease prediction in genes and drug discovery.
Bioinformatics is the application of computational techniques to analyse the information associated with biomolecules on a large-scale, has now firmly established itself as a discipline in molecular biology, and encompasses a wide range of subject areas from structural biology, genomics to gene expression studies.
It's an interdisciplinary field mainly involving molecular biology and genetics, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. Also it entails the creation and advancement of databases, algorithms, computational and statistical techniques, and theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data. The primary goal of bioinformatics is to increase the understanding of biological processes.
