Summary: | This resource is intended to serve both as a textbook for short bioinformatics courses and as a base for a self-teaching endeavor. It is divided in two parts: A. Bioinformatics Techniques and B. Case Studies. Each chapter of the first part addresses a specific problem in bioinformatics and consists of a theoretical part and of a detailed tutorial with practical applications of that theory using software freely available on the Internet. In the second part, renowned researchers wrote chapters that represent up-to-date reviews of particular human diseases, including biological aspects and bioinformatics approaches that helped to solve specific problems. The resource is intended to be a continuous project, and it is expected to be regularly expanded and updated in the future
