About the Book

Nature has created all sorts of variations and the curious nature of mankind always inspires him to understand these variations. The variations in biological systems are highly complex in nature. To understand these complex biological phenomena, serious efforts have been made by researchers during last few decades. Molecular biology is one such field that has witnessed an exponential amount of sequence information as a result of rapid DNA sequencing technologies. In order to understand, organize and analyze such ever increasing sequence information, integrated fields like Bioinformatics and Computational Biology have emerged. In the recent past, extensive research efforts were made in these fields which led to the development and application of tools, software, computational techniques, statistical approaches, simulation techniques, mathematical models to study the biological systems. Keeping in view the recent developments made in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology, the present volume representing an excellent collection of topics was brought out. The topics covered in this volume include: o Role of bioinformatics in biotechnology o Computational resources for next generation sequencing data analysis o Allele mining and bioinformatics o Bioinformatics in screening and analysis of pathological mutations o Sequence analysis of diacylglycerol acyltransferases o Optimization of in situ stresses and fracture properties with genetic algorithm o Bioinformatics approach for journey of protein from sequence to structure o Protein structure modeling o Characterization of polypeptide syntheses and no ribosomal peptide synthetics o Recent progress on modeling of G protein-coupled receptors o Characterization of integral membrane proteins at molecular level o Magnetic Resonance methods in modern biology o Microarrays in genomics analysis o Statistical analysis of microarray gene expression data o Sample size calculation method for microarray studies with survival endpoints o Livestock genomics: Resources and bio-computational applications o Overview of systems biology o Gene regulatory networks o Overview of network biology with computational tools o Epigenetic in sustaining the livelihood o Genetic diversity analysis of animals o Protein legend interactions The volume 6 contains 22 chapters from 44 researchers and/or academicians representing 7 nations, namely Finland, India, Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Spain and United States of America giving an overview of the various research activities being carried out in different parts of the world in the fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.

About the Author :
A.R. Rao, Acclaimed globally for his scientific research work on Agricultural Statistics and Bioinformatics, Dr. Atmakuri Ramakrishna Rao has contributed 16 years of dedicated service towards scientific research and education. Obtaining his education, i.e., B.Sc. in Agriculture from O.U.A.T., Odisha, MCA from IGNOU, M.Sc. & Ph.D. in Agricultural Statistics from Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi and Post Doctoral experience in Bioinformatics from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), New York and University of Washington, Seattle, he is currently working as a Senior Scientist of Centre for Agricultural Bioinformatics at Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI), New Delhi. Besides, he is a dual faculty member and research guide in Agricultural Statistics and Bioinformatics at Post Graduate School, IARI, New Delhi. He has earned to his credit over 50 publications in peer-reviewed journals of repute and several book chapters. He has handled over a dozen research projects and guided/guiding 3 Ph.D. scholars and over 6 M.Sc. students in the disciplines of Agricultural Statistics and Bioinformatics. Dr. Rao has shared his experience and expertise at several prestigious professional forums by delivering several invited talks in conferences and workshops. He has conducted several training programmes for the scientists and teaching faculty under National Agricultural Research System (NARS) in India as Course Director and training coordinator. His has been awarded the Long-Term DBT Biotechnology Overseas Associateship in 2004-05. He is reviewer of peer-reviewed journals of high impact. Dr. Rao is a well known statistical geneticist & bioinformaticist and has the passion to develop algorithms, tools and software for statistical and computational analysis of genomic data. Dr. J.N. Govil (B. 1945): Obtained his Masters and Doctorate degrees from Agra University, Agra, India. In his career span of 41 years research experience at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, Dr.Govil has been involved in the breeding of cross-pollinated, often crosspollinated and self-pollinated crops. His research is mainly focussed on breeding for better quality, disease resistance, and for higher productivity in Pennisetum, Sorghum, maize, chickpea, and pigeonpea. Dr. Govil has been well exposed to the international scientific community through various training programmes. He took his training in "Plant exploration and collection techinques" through IBPGR in 1982. He was also awarded the prestigious FAO/IBPGR Fellowship in "Genetic resources, evaluation, and data preparation and management" at the University of Birmingham, UK.In 1983, he made visits to gene banks located in Europe. He also participated in various international seminars and conferences, including "Food and Legume Improvement for Asian Farming Systems" in Thailand in 1986. Dr. Govil is credited with more than ninety research papers in various journals of national and international repute in various aspects of genetics, crop breeding and topics on general agriculture. He has written and edited a number of books on medicinal Plants (2 Vols each of two Titles) and otherbooks with international authors. A new series "Recent Progress in Medicinal Plants" has been published by Studium Press, LLC, USA in 35 volumes under Dr. Govil's Chief Editorship. Dr. Govil has been Editor-in-Chief of the Journals, New Botanist (An International Journal of Plant Research)and Glimpses in Plant Research, since 1988. He has also guided more than a dozen post-graduate students. Dr. J.N. Govil was actively engaged through his leadership on pigeonpea breeding with special emphasis on "Breeding short duration pigeonpea varieties for improved management and low input conditions." Through his intensive efforts over the last 20 years, nine varieties of early pigeonpea in arhar-wheat rotation have been released at national level. Dr. Govil retired from ICAR service during the year 2007. Presently, he is working as Publishing Director and Managing Editor with Studium Press LLC, USA and has brought out nearly 300 academic publications during last five years.
