The recent accumulation of information from genomes, including
their sequences, has
resultednotonlyinnewattemptstoansweroldquestionsandsolvelongstandingissues
inbiology,
butalsointheformulationofnovelhypothesesthatarisepreciselyfromthis
wealth of data. The storage, processing, description, transmission,
connection, and analysis of these data has prompted bioinformatics
to become one the most relevant applied sciences for this new
century, walking hand-in-hand with modern molecular biology and
clearly impacting areas like biotechnology and biomedicine.
Bioinformatics skills have now become essential for many scientists
working with DNA sequences. With this idea in mind, this book aims
to provide practical guidance
andtroubleshootingadviceforthecomputationalanalysisofDNAsequences,
covering a range of issues and methods that unveil the multitude of
applications and relevance that Bioinformatics has today. The
analysis of protein sequences has been purposely

accompaniedbypracticalexamples, adiscussion on the interpretation
of results, and specific comments on strengths and limitations of
the methods and tools. In a sense, chapters could be seen as
enriched task-oriented manuals that will direct the reader in
completing specific bioinformatics analyses. The target audience
for this book is biochemists, and molecular and evolutionary
biologiststhatwanttolearnhowtoanalyzeDNAsequencesinasimplebutmeaningful
fashion. Readers do not need a special background in statistics,
mathematics, or computer science, just a basic knowledge of
molecular biology and genetics. All the tools described in the book
are free and all of them can be downloaded or accessed
