Essentials of Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is the symbiotic relationship between biological sciences and computational techniques. It is an application of computer science, mathematical and statistical methods to manage and analysis the biological data, is becoming a fundamental tool in experimental biology as a genome and proteome testing in silico. Bioinformatics was applied in the creation and mainatence of a database to store biological information at the beginning of the "genomic revolution", such as nucleotide and amino acid sequences.
