Introduction to Bioinformatics and Microarray Technology  (English, Paperback, Abhilash M.)

This book will serve as a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students and would also be a useful reference book for research scientists working in the areas of proteomics genomics biotechnology microarray molecular biology and also in software engineering with focus on bioinformatics application development. Written in a simple style it would be easy for readers to understand important concepts in bioinformatics molecular modeling drug design and microarray technology.book has been designed based on the prescribed syllabi of VTU Bangalore University and most Universities in India. The book would be useful for the biologists to appreciate the potential of bioinformatics and also to gain an insight to making use of the biological databases tools and bioinformatics resources. It will also be useful for software engineers to understand scope of programming in biotechnology. It is the first book on bioinformatics with emphasis on microarray technology a section which covers basic concepts advanced techniques in fabrication of arrays potential applications and market for microarray.
