Virus Bioinformatics
«
“Virology is progressing under the comfortable simplifications or reductionism and the disturbing recognition of complexity. Viruses are ubiquitous and diverse, and individual viral populations are exceedingly complex and dynamic, both genetically and phenotypically. As intracellular infection events are scrutinized at the single cell level of analysis, we are learning that virus-cell-organism interactions are multifaceted and intricate. Bioinformatics emerges to rescue virology amid a turmoil of new information in need of order. This book, edited by Manja Marz and Dimitrij Frishman, with outstanding contributing authors, will play the role of a lighthouse in a stormy ocean, to guide virologists on possible paths to follow.”

Viruses are the most numerous and deadliest biological entities on the planet, infecting all types of living organisms-from bacteria to human beings. The constantly expanding repertoire of experimental approaches available to study viruses includes both low-throughput techniques, such as imaging and 3D structure determination, and modern OMICS technologies, such as genome sequencing, ribosomal profiling, and RNA structure probing.
