An Introduction to High-Throughput Bioinformatics Data

High throughput biological assays supply thousands of measurements per sample, and the sheer amount of related data increases the need for better models to enhance inference. Such models, however, are more effective if they take into account the idiosyncracies associated with the specific methods of measurement: where the numbers come from. We illustrate this point by describing three different...

An Introduction to Bioinformatics for Glycomics Research

Carbohydrates are considered the third class of information-encoding biological macromolecules. ‘‘Glycomics,’’ the scientific attempt to characterize and study carbohydrates, is a rapidly emerging branch of science, for which informatics is just beginning. Glycomics requires sophisticated algorithmic approaches. Several algorithms and models have been developed for glycobiology research in the ...

Introduction to Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is a new discipline that addresses the need to manage and interpret the data that in the past decade was massively generated by genomic research. This discipline represents the convergence of genomics, biotechnology and information technology, and encompasses analysis and interpretation of data, modeling of biological phenomena, and development of algorithms and statistics. This ...

Bioinformatics: An introduction and Overview

–An extraordinary capital of data is being generated by genome sequencing projects and other experimental efforts to verify and establish the structure and function of biological molecules. The demands and opportunities for interpreting these data are expanding more than ever. Bioinformatics is a science which uses computational techniques to analyze the biological problems; the science of deve...
