Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) combine elements of computer science, information technology, mathematics, statistics, and biotechnology, providing the methodology and in silico solutions to mine biological data and processes, for knowledge discovery.In the era of molecular diagnostics, targeted drug design, translational medicine and Big Data for personalized medicine, computational methods for data analysis are essential tools for biochemistry, biology, biotechnology, pharmacology, biomedical and computer science, as well as mathematics and statistics. New areas are emerging, and relatively isolated fields are becoming current hot research areas in BCB, such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantitative Biology, Computational Vaccinology, Epidemiology and Infection Diffusion, Synthetic Biology, and Phenomics. The role of BCB in characterizing SARS-CoV-2 variants and facing the COVID-19 pandemic is just one example of how these tools can help us better prepare for such future events.This Encyclopedia comprises three sections, covering Methods, Topics, and Applications. The methodologies and algorithms underpinning BCB are described in the Methods section; Topics covers traditional areas such as phylogeny, as well as more recent areas such as translational bioinformatics, cheminformatics and environmental informatics; Applications provides guidance for commonly asked “how to” questions.Navigating the maze of confusing jargon and the plethora of software tools is often confronting for students and researchers alike. This comprehensive and unique resource provides up-to-date theory and application content to address molecular data analysis requirements, with precise definitions of terminology and lucid explanations by field experts.

Genetics and Epigenetics of Genitourinary Diseases aims to provide a comprehensive collection of data on genetics and epigenetics in almost all genitourinary diseases for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students.This book discusses several genetic and epigenetic changes like DNA methylation, mutations, single nucleotide polymorphisms, DNA rearrangements, chromosomal remodeling, microsatellite instability, and chromosomal instability (CIN) in genitourinary cancers.This book is split into 18 chapters, beginning with the importance of genetics and epigenetics in genitourinary diseases. It then goes on to cover the genetics and epigenetics of various diseases and tumors. Certain chapters present novel techniques of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Furthermore, RNA-Seq is discussed as a sequencing technique that uses NGS to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample.This book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in genetics and epigenetics who want to broaden their understanding of the field.

The volume is organized into chapters covering individual neuropsychiatric disorders, from addiction to anxiety and autism spectrum disorders, and is contributed by leading experts in their respective fields. The epigenetic aspects of each disorder are discussed in the context of the full range of associated epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA modification, histone post-translational modification, chromatin organization, and non-coding RNA. A particular emphasis is placed on potential epigenetic interventions when the effects of environmental stimuli on epigenetic states is particularly relevant to disease.
