Book Chapter Description

Bioinformatics or computational biology is a rapidly evolving field of science. Genome sequences of various organisms are routinely being deposited in biological databases owing to the availability of next generation sequencing (NGS). With an increasing amount of biological data being produced through different research projects, interpretation and analysis becomes very much essential to carry out meaningful functional and structural studies of nucleic acids and protein sequences. Various tools and software have been designed to perform such complex analysis. This chapter focuses on the different tools and software used in bioinformatics for the purpose of sequence submission, sequence retrieval, structure submission, sequence analysis, and structure prediction. The chapter highlights sequence submission tools like BanqIt, SPIN, WEBIN, Sequin, Sakura, structure submission tools like ADIT, pdb_extract, etc., and sequence retrieval tools such as SRS, Entrez, Getentry. Further, tools for sequence analysis like BLAST, CLUSTALW/X, and structure prediction tools such as SWISS-MODEL, Modeller, JPred, 3D-Jigsaw, and ModBase have been discussed in detail.
