Being a multidisciplinary subject it requires knowledge of several subjects, such as molecular biology, biochemistry, computer science and others. Students in a bioinformatics course are from different academic backgrounds; those who have studied biology (i.e., botany, zoology, biochemistry, microbiology, etc.), will require an introduction to mathematics and computer science, while those with a background in physics, chemistry and mathematics will need explanations of biological principles. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a simple and concise explanation of the basic principles, tools and applications of bioinformatics.

Care has been taken to design the algorithms such that even beginners can understand them without difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616487104663,"sku":"9788173717130","price":595.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788173717130.webp?v=1769294921","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bioinformatics-basics-algorithms-and-applications-9788173717130","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
