Preface
In the post-genomic era, a holistic understanding of biological systems and processes, in all their complexity, is critical in comprehending nature’s choreography of life. As a result, bioinformatics involving its two main disciplines, namely, the life sciences and the computational sciences, is fast becoming a very promising multidisciplinary research field. With the ever-increasing application of largescale high-throughput technologies, such as gene or protein microarrays and mass spectrometry methods, the enormous body of information is growing rapidly. Bioinformaticians are posed with a large number of difficult problems to solve, arising not only due to the complexities in acquiring the molecular information but also due to the size and nature of the generated data sets and/or the limitations of the algorithms required for analyzing these d
