Biotechnology plays an important role in mitigation of various pollution a cost effective manner by using the complex chemistry living organisms, cell manipulations and their approaches for environmental cleanup along with sustainability. One such technology is phytoremediation or green which has emerged evolved as novel tool remediation toxic contaminants from environment. Plants its diverse r...

The field of bioinformatics emerged as a tool to facilitate biological discoveries more than 10 years ago. With the development of Human Genome Project (HGP), the data of biology increased fabulously and marvelously. The ability to capture, manage, process, analyze and interpret data became more important than ever. Bioinformatics and computers can help scientists to solve it. Here are introduc...

Even though there are many useful tools for sequence alignment such as Blast by NCBI, Fasta by the University of Virginia and Smith-Waterman, by NIST, one of the key issues is that sequence databases are exploding in size, growing at an exponential rate. Grid and parallel computing are crucial techniques to maintain and improve the effectiveness of sequence comparison tools, whereas the Web Ser...

The key problem of bioinformatics is the prediction of properties, such as structure or function, based on similarity This chapter reviews the concepts and tools of similarity analysis used in various fields of bioinformatics.
