5. Sequencing: The Next Generation
A Life Decoded is the story of this singular milestone in our history, told by the man who through a combination of vision, tenacity, ingenuity, and insight challenged conventional wisdom and refuted his critics to reveal the human genetic code.

14. Chemoinformatics/Pharmacoinformatics
The computational methods for in silico drug discovery have been broadly categories into two fields bioinformatics and chemoinformatics.
In case of bioinformatics, major emphasis is on identification and validation of drug targets, mainly based on functional/structural annotation of genomes.
In case of cheminformatics or pharmacoinformatics, major emphasis is on designing of drug molecules or ligands and their interaction with drug targets.
Frank K. Brown (1998) defined Chemoinformatics as the mixing of information resources to transform data into information, and information into knowledge, for the intended purpose of making better decisions faster in the arena of drug lead identification and optimization.
