This book is targeted primarily at research scientists in the field of Human and Mammalian genetics. However, our increasing knowledge of genetic variation is impacting all areas of biology, so that researchers in other fields of biology may add considerably to their work by including genetic data in their analyses. Hence, this book should be of value to any researcher or advanced student with an interest in genetic data. The book will assume only a basic knowledge of bioinformatics. It illustrates the value of bioinformatics as a constantly evolving avenue into novel approaches to study genetics. The book shows how bioinformatics can be applied at all stages of the genetics research process; to improve study design, to assist in marker selection and candidate gene identification, to aid data interpretation and management and to shed new light on the molecular pathology of disease mutations.
