Main description:

Transcriptomics consists of the mathematical, statistical and computing methods that aim to solve biological problems using nucleotides and amino acid sequences and related information. Transcriptomics is about searching biological databases, comparing sequences, looking at protein structure and more generally, asking biological questions with a computer. Biological or genetic information is the fundamental concept of Transcriptomics. It is the term given to the set of all transcripts or messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules produced in cells. This rapidly growing area promises to have a large impact on many other scientific and medical disciplines as scientists can now generate complete descriptions of how components of biological systems work together in response to various stresses and drugs. This book will be valued by academics, scientists and researchers across a wide platform, and should be a key title in every natural science and pharmacology library.
