     <title>About this book</title>
     <p>Bioinformatics consists of a computational approach to 
      biomedical information management and analysis. It is being 
      used increasingly as a component of research within both 
      academic and industrial settings and is becoming integrated 
      into both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. The new 
      generation of biology graduates is emerging with experience 
      in using bioinformatics resources and, in some cases, 
      programming skills.</p>
