Unraveling New Frontiers and Advances in Bioinformatics

This book describes the bioinformatics research field, from its historical roots to the cutting-edge technologies. Many readers can discover the power of next-generation sequencing and genomic data analysis, uncover the secrets of single-cell genomics and transcriptomics, explore the metagenomics and microbiome analysis, and predict the protein structures using structural bioinformatics. Several case studies witnessing the fusion of bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, driving insights from vast biological datasets have also been explored. Other important aspects listed in the book are integrating the omics data for a holistic view of biological systems; experiencing the future of medicine with precision healthcare and personalized treatments; accelerating drug discovery and repurposing through computational approaches; agricultural genomics; and exploring the role of immunoinformatics in designing effective vaccines against infectious diseases.
