Bioinformatics and Genomics

Bioinformatics and Genomics is a comprehensive introduction to modern bioinformatics and computational biology, focusing on the analysis of genomic and molecular data through practical and theoretical approaches. The book explores essential topics including DNA sequencing, gene identification, sequence alignment, similarity analysis, phylogenetics, and three-dimensional protein structure visualization. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in life sciences, biotechnology, and molecular biology, this work combines clear scientific explanations with applied computational methods using the MATLAB® Bioinformatics Toolbox. Readers are guided through practical tools for sequence analysis, pairwise alignment, and molecular visualization in a simplified and educational manner. The book also highlights the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence in bioinformatics, with dedicated sections on advanced technologies such as AlphaFold and ESM-3 for protein structure prediction and future applications in genomics. With its balance of theory, applications, and modern computational techniques, Bioinformatics and Genomics serves as an accessible and valuable resource for understanding contemporary bioinformatics and genomic analysis.
