Bioinformatics has ignited the imagination of scientists,
entrepreneurs and the general public. At the meeting place of two
fast growth disciplines, biology and computer science
Bioinformatics is one of the cornerstones of the new biology. It is
clearly pivotal to the translation of high throughput projects such
the human genome project into useful knowledge. Yet despite all
this attention, there is no consensus on what exactly is
Bioinformatics. There are several canonical topics, such as gene
structure prediction, protein functional classification or
structure prediction. The present book explores new frontiers in
bioinformatics, such as Glycomics or the computational modeling of
genetic processes. We also discuss confounding factors that we find
crucial to the development of the field, such as the ability to
protect and restrict intellectual property in the field, or the
challenges involved in educating bioinformatics users. Finally, we
touch upon some fundamental questions, such as what information is
and how it is captured in biological systems. By bringing to the
readers such a broad spectrum of reviews, we hope to capture the
vibrant spirit of this young science and to truly represent the
fast pace with which it is still developing.
