An accessible guide that introduces students in all areas of life sciences to bioinformaticsBasic 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 toolsA practical step-by-step approach to molecular-data analyses Information pertinent to study a variety of disciplines including biotechnology, zoology, bioinformatics and other related fieldsWorked examples, glossary terms, problems and solutionsBasic 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.

Bioinformatics is a significant field in the biological sciences that requires extensive knowledge and expertise in both statistics and computer science. The increasing number of new sequencing projects has made bioinformatics an essential tool in understanding biological processes, particularly in the agricultural and healthcare sectors, with numerous applications. This book, Concepts in Bioinformatics, Basics to Advances, is a comprehensive resource for students and researchers, providing a quick reference guide to the subject. It covers a wide range of topics, including molecular data analysis, multiple sequence alignment, primer design, phylogenomics, omics, molecular modeling, drug design, and synthetic biology. The book begins by introducing readers to the basics of bioinformatics and its history, followed by a discussion of important concepts, such as databases, sequence alignment, primer design, and molecular phylogeny. These topics are essential for postgraduate students in bioinformatics, biotechnology, and molecular biology. Later chapters delve into more advanced areas, including BLAST and FASTA, protein structure prediction through homology modeling, and molecular modeling, which are crucial for in silico analysis. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of bioinformatics and its applications.

This book comprehensively discusses the applications of molecular genetics, functional and structural genomics, and proteomics vis-a-vis bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and robotics in livestock healthfulness and productivity.
