This manual offers a stand-alone reading companion, unique in
simplifying the practical components of Bioinformatics in a unique
and user-friendly manner. It covers the practical component of
syllabi used at most leading universities and discusses the most
extensively used tools and methodologies in Bioinformatics.
Research in the biological sciences has made tremendous strides in
recent years due in part to the increased automation in data
generation. At the same time, storing, managing and interpreting
huge volumes of data has become one of the most challenging tasks
for scientists. These two aspects have ultimately necessitated the
application of computers, giving rise to a highly interdisciplinary
discipline-Bioinformatics. Despite the richness of bioinformatics
resources and methods, the exposure of life sciences undergraduates
and postgraduates to bioinformatics is extremely limited. Though
the internet offers various tools for free, and provides guides for
using them, it fails to help users interpret the processed data.
Moreover, most sites fail to update their help pages to accommodate
software upgrades. Though the market is flooded with books
discussing the theoretical concepts in Bioinformatics, a manual of
this kind is rarely found. The content developed to meet the needs
of readers from diverse background and to incorporate the syllabi
of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at various universities.

The problems of women workers in general -- and in the unorganised
sector in particular -- deserve special attention and focus in view
of their marginalised position within the class of workers. The
position of women workers in rural India is considerably lower than
that of women in general. The bottom layer is constituted by women
belonging to the lowest social status groups. A number of national
and international studies have documented the sex-typing of jobs
and occupations by women. Occupational segregation represents a
form of discrimination. Discrimination on the lines of gender is
not always overt. It appears in very subtle forms such as in the
nature of work performed, skills required to perform the work and
the valuation of these skills and the technology used by men and
women. One problem more specific to women is that they are subject
to various forms of harassment at the workplace. Verbal and
physical violence against women has been an age-old method of
subjugating them. Female and child domestic workers constitute a
large portion of migrant worker population. Working in the
unregulated domain of a private home, mostly without the protection
of national labour legislations, allows for female domestic workers
to be maltreated by their employers with impunity. This volume
contains 16 well-researched papers by scholars in the field of
women studies. These scholarly papers explain and examine the
various aspects of working conditions of women workers in India.
