Samenvatting:

The second volume focuses on the different applications of computational tools in immunology. The first component of the book explores data-driven algorithms, methods, data warehouses. The second component discusses computational approaches to understand the invertebrate immune system of model organism like Planaria, Hydra, Drosophila.

Computational Immunology: Applications focuses on different mathematical models, statistical tools, techniques, and computational modelling that helps in understanding complex phenomena of the immune system and its biological functions. The book also focuses on the latest developments in computational biology in designing of drugs, targets, biomarkers for early detection and prognosis of a disease. It highlights the applications of computational methods in deciphering the complex processes of the immune system and its role in health and disease.

• This book discusses the most essential topics, including
• Next generation sequencing (NGS) and computational immunology
