Bioinformatics can be loosely defined as the collection,
classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological
information using computers and mathematical algorithms. Although no
single person or group started the field wholly on their own, Temple
Smith, Ph.D., a professor at Boston University, is generally credited
with coining the term. Bioinformatics represents a marriage of biology,
medicine, computer science, physics, and mathematics, fields of study
that have historically existed as mutually exclusive disciplines.
Concurrently, bioinformatics has vaulted into the public鈥檚 eye in
lay newspapers and magazines, most notably in the area of
(personalized) DNA sequencing. The combined result is that
bioinformatics is being heralded as a panacea to the current
limitations in the clinical management of cancer. While certainly over
optimistic in some regards, this designation is not without promise
particularly in the area of cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
The focus of this book is to: i) to provide a historical and
technical perspective on the analytical techniques, methodologies, and
platforms used in bioinformatics experiments, ii) to show how a
bioinformatics approach has been used to characterize various
cancer-related processes, and iii) to demonstrate how a bioinformatics
approach is being used to bridge basic science and the clinical arena
to positively impact patient care and management.
