Short description The recent expansion in genome data and the parallel increase in cheap computing power has placed the bioinformatics exploration of pathogen genomes centre stage for vaccine researchers. Discussing the ways in which bioinformatics can contribute to improved vaccine development, Bioinformatics for Vaccinology shows how bioinformatic techniques can solve key problems from vaccinology and immunology. The only book to address the area of bioinformatics as applied to rational vaccine design, this text is written to appeal to both the bioinformatician and the immunologist.
