Bioinformatics is an evolving field that is gaining popularity due to genomics, proteomics and other high-productivity biological methods. The function of biological biologists includes data storage, retrieval and silico analysis of the results of large-scale experiments.

This requires understanding of knowledge mining algorithms, a thorough understanding of the biological knowledge base, and the logical relationship of entities that describe the process or system. Bioinformatics researchers are required to train them in multidisciplinary areas of biology, mathematics and computer science.

Currently the requirements are met by specialized researchers who have specific skills in biology or math / computer science. But the learning curve is steep and the time required to communicate using domain terminology has become a major bottleneck in scientific productivity.

This book provides practical experience that was not available to qualified bioinformatics researchers.
