Overview
Over the course of the last few decades, the incorporation of genetics, genomics, proteomics, and statistics into the field of bioinformatics has had a significant impact on both the field of biology and the field of medicine. The primary application for it is in assisting with the modeling, forecasting, and analysis of enormous amounts of multidimensional biological data utilizing the most recent and cutting-edge computational technologies. The majority of life science students and researchers do not have the skills necessary to make effective use of this sophisticated technology, which is why bioinformatics is not yet widely incorporated in academic courses despite the fact that it holds enormous promise. This book was written after realizing that there was a void in the market for a resource that could provide students and researchers with prior knowledge of the biosciences with a place to begin their studies. The book is an excellent resource that students and young professionals can use in their pursuit of knowledge on this ever-changing topic.
