Abstract

Making use of mathematics and statistics, bioinformatics helps biologists to quickly obtain information from a huge amount of experimental data. Nowadays, a large number of web- and computer-based tools are available, allowing more unskilled scientists to be familiar with data analysis techniques. The present chapter gives an overview of the most easy-to-use tools and software packages for bacterial genes and genome analysis present on the Web, with the aim to mainly help wet-lab researcher at undergraduate and postgraduate levels to introduce them to bioinformatics analysis of biological data.
