This text describes how bioinformatics can be used as a powerful set of tools for retrieving and analysing this biological data, and how bioinformatics can be applied to a wide range of disciplines such as molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, forensic science and anthropology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFully revised and updated, the fifth edition of \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to Bioinformatics\u003c\/em\u003e contains a host of new material including new content on next generation sequencing, function prediction, sequence assembly, epigenomics, the bioinformatics of gene editing, and the effects of single nucleotide variants. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten primarily for a biological audience without a detailed prior knowledge of programming, this book is the perfect introduction to the field of bioinformatics, providing friendly guidance and advice on how to use various methods and techniques. Furthermore, frequent examples, self-test questions, problems, and exercises are incorporated throughout the text to encourage self-directed learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArthur Lesk, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, USA\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArthur M.
