Textbook Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics links content from the life sciences with mathematical concepts from computer science and is significantly involved in the current advances in the molecular biology and medicine. Areas of application are the structural biology, the pharmaceutical and biotechnological research, the Genome-, Proteome-, Transcriptome- and Metabolom Analysis. A core field of Bioinformatics is the development of software for the storage, evaluation and analysis of scientific data. The book is addressed to graduate and undergraduate students in the life sciences and information technology, as well as to advanced researchers in this fields, who want to acquire basic knowledge in the field of Bioinformatics. It serves as an entry point to the discipline as well as for deepening existing knowledge.
