The growth of biotechnology has increased exponentially during the last decade as a result of development of high throughput techniques and parallel progress in information technology, which has led to the emergence of a novel discipline called bioinformatics.Bioinformatics should be viewed broadly as the use of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods for the processing and analysis of biological data. Development and use of bioinformatics is essential for the discovery of new drugs. Yet there are very few research books available. This book,therefore, should be of great use, not only to undergraduates, but also to post graduated and established research scientists struggling to keep up with the bioinformatics subject.This book could also be a very good starting point for the researcher who wants to initiate the bioinformatics analysis.
