  • This
  • textbook
  • is
  • for
  • anyone
  • who
  • needs
  • to
  • learn
  • the
  • basics
  • of
  • bioinformatics—the
  • use
  • of
  • computational
  • methods
  • to
  • better
  • understand
  • biological
  • systems.
  • Computational
  • Biology
  • covers
  • the
  • principles
  • and
  • applications
  • of
  • the
  • computational
  • methods
  • used
  • to
  • study
  • DNA,
  • RNA,
  • and
  • proteins,
  • including
  • using
  • biological
  • databases
  • such
  • as
  • NCBI
  • and
  • UniProt;
  • performing
  • BLAST,
  • sequence
  • alignments,
  • and
  • structural
  • predictions;
  • and
  • creating
  • phylogenetic
  • trees.
  • It
  • includes
  • a
  • primer
  • that
  • can
  • be
  • used
  • as
  • a
  • jumping
  • off
  • point
  • for
  • learning
  • computer
  • programming
  • for
  • bioinformatics.This
  • text
  • can
  • be
  • used
  • as
  • a
  • self-study
  • guide,
  • as
  • a
  • course
  • focused
  • on
  • computational
  • methods
  • in
  • biology/bioinformatics,
  • or
  • to
  • supplement
  • general
  • courses
  • that
  • touch
  • on
  • topics
  • included
  • within
  • the
  • book.
  • Computational
  • Biology's
  • robust
  • interactive
  • online
  • components
  • “gamify”
  • the
  • study
  • of
  • bioinformatics,
  • allowing
  • the
  • reader
  • to
  • practice
  • randomly
  • generated
  • problems
  • on
  • their
  • own
  • time
  • to
  • build
  • confidence
  • and
  • skill
  • and
  • gain
  • practical
  • real-world
  • experience.
  • The
  • online
  • component
  • also
  • assures
  • that
  • the
  • content
  • being
  • taught
  • is
  • up
  • to
  • date
  • and
  • accurately
  • reflects
  • the
  • ever-changing
  • landscape
  • of
  • bioinformatics
  • web-based programs.
