Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics by Jonathan Pevsner
Bioinformatics is a rapidly growing branch of science, which integrates the concepts of biology, engineering, mathematics and computer science in order to develop software tools. These tools are used in analyzing and interpreting biological data. Functional genomics is a sub-field of molecular biology, which uses the tools of bioinformatics to understand the diverse aspects of genes such as regulation of gene expression, DNA sequencing, gene transcription, protein-protein interactions, etc. There has been rapid progress in these fields and their applications are finding their way across multiple industries. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth information about the theory and practice of bioinformatics and functional genomics. Students, researchers, experts, geneticists, biologists and biological engineers will benefit alike from this book.Jonathan Pevsner, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at Kennedy Krieger Institute, an internationally recognized institution dedicated to improving the lives of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. He holds a primary faculty appointment as Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine). He holds joint or secondary appointments in the Department of Neuroscience, the Institute of Genetic Medicine, and the Division of Health Sciences Informatics (Johns Hopkins School of Medicine), and the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health). He has taught bioinformatics courses since 2000 at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and was awarded Teacher of the Year honors by the Graduate Student Association in both 2001 and 2006, the Professors' Award for Excellence in Teaching awarded by the medical faculty (2003), Teacher of the Year (Advanced Academic Programs, 2009), and Teaching Excellence Award in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (2011). In 2013 his lab used whole genome sequencing and reported a mutation that causes a rare disease, Sturge-Weber syndrome, as well as a commonly occurring port-wine stain birthmark.
