Die Bioinformatik ist ein Feld zwischen der Biologie und der Informationstechnologie. Das Werk deckt zahlreiche Gebiete der Bioinformatik ab, beginnend mit den grundlegenden Prinzipien, Konzepten und multidisziplinären Anwendungsbereichen. Es enthält eine Reihe von Kapiteln, in denen die Rolle der Bioinformatik bei der Entwicklung und Entdeckung von Arzneimitteln beschrieben wird, insbesondere in Bezug auf die molekulare Modellierung. In anderen Kapiteln werden Themen wie in-silico-Design, Proteinmodellierung, DNA-Mikroarray-Analyse, DNA-RNA-Barcoding und Gensequenzierung ausführlich behandelt. Und schließlich widmen sich einige Kapitel speziellen Themen wie der Nutzung der Bioinformatik in der Krebserkennung, Genomik, Proteomik, beim maschinellen Lernen sowie bei kovalenten Ansätzen in der Entwicklung von Arzneimitteln.
