Bioinformatics for Everyone provides a brief overview on currently used technologies in the field of bioinformatics-interpreted as the application of information science to biology- including various online and offline bioinformatics tools and softwares. The book presents valuable knowledge in a simplified way to help students and researchers easily apply bioinformatics tools and approaches to their research and lab routines. Several protocols and case studies that can be reproduced by readers to suit their needs are also included. - Explains the most relevant bioinformatics tools available in a didactic manner so that readers can easily apply them to their research - Includes several protocols that can be used in different types of research work or in lab routines - Discusses upcoming technologies and their impact on biological/biomedical sciences

Mohammad Yaseen Sofi is a PhD scholar at Division of Plant Biotechnology, SKUAST- K. He completed his Bachelor's degree from SKUAST-K in 2018. He is currently working under the guidance Dr. Khalid Z. Masoodi on bioprospecting and DNA barcoding of Kale (Brassica oleracea var Acephala). In the course of his MSc programme, he made outstanding contributions in rice research in the field of Plant Biotechnology. He has filed one US patent application in 2021. Additionally, he has extensive knowledge of bioinformatics analysis tools, which he acquired while attending various national/international seminars and workshops.
