Welcome to Bioinformatics, Biocomputing, and Perl, an introduction and guide to the computing skills and practices collectively known as Bioinformatics.
Bioinformatics is the application of computing techniques to the study of biology and in particular biology research. Although the study of biology is hundreds of years old, the application of computing techniques to biology research is relatively new, with major advances occurring within the last decade. Consequently, the Bioinformatics field is evolving and maturing rapidly, and this has highlighted the need for a good, all-round introductory textbook. We believe that Bioinformatics, Biocomputing, and Perl meet this need.
