About the author

Aswin Sai Narain Seshasayee obtained his B. Tech. (Industrial Biotechnology) in 2005 from Anna University, Chennai, India and PhD (Molecular Biology) in 2009 from the University of Cambridge, UK in the EMBL International PhD Programme at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), Cambridge, UK under the supervision of Nicholas M. Luscombe. After a short postdoctoral stint at the EMBL-EBI, Cambridge, UK, he joined the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India, where he is currently working. He is a recipient of the Ramanujan Fellowship of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. He has published a number of articles in international journals.

Summary

This book presents a review of the cutting-edge literature - emphasizing data analysis and interpretation - in a format that can be accessible to biologists. Simultaneously, the book provides materials to stimulate bioinformaticians and computational biologists working on cancer biology, mammalian development and epigenetics.
