Emerging Trends in Applications and Infrastructures for Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Systems Biology ― Systems and Applications

Emerging Trends in Applications and Infrastructures for Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Systems Biology covers the latest trends in the field with special emphasis on their applications.

The first part covers the major areas of computational biology, development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling, and computational simulation techniques for the study of biological and behavioral systems.

The second part covers bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary field concerned with the methods for storing, retrieving, organizing, and analyzing biological data. The book also explores the software tools used to generate useful biological knowledge.

The third part, on systems biology, explores how to obtain, integrate, and analyze complex data sets from multiple experimental sources using interdisciplinary tools and techniques.

The final part on big data explores the collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using conventional database management systems or traditional data processing applications.

Taken together, the book shows that these topics share an underlying foundation and framework collectively referred to as "infrastructure."

• Explores all the latest advances in this fast-developing field from an applied perspective.
• Provides the only coherent and comprehensive treatment of the subject available.
• Covers the algorithm development, software design, and database applications that have been developed to foster research.
