About the Book
Bioinformatics is the use of mathematical, statistical and computer methods to analyze biological, biochemical, and biophysical data. Because bioinformatics is a young, rapidly evolving field, however, it also has a number of other credible definitions. It can also be defined as the science and technology of learning, managing, and processing biological information. The book deals with various tools and applications of bioinformatics in the fields of: o agriculture, corals, structural bioinformatics, data-mining, text-mining; o medicinal plants, antibiotics, protein structure prediction, drug design; o gene expression, micro-arrays, proteomics,molecular phylogenic location of the Indian Liver Fluke, rough sets to predict protein structural class; o artificial neural networks for prediction of amino acids levels, plant systems biology, molecular modeling, homology modeling, bio-efficacy of indigenous bacillus through in-silico approach; o fresh aquaculture and fisheries, pesticides and insecticides, databases and tools development in the relevant area. The book would be of much use to the person working in the field of agricultural biotechnology, bioinformatics, computer science and applied statistics.
