This book explains how the biological systems and their functions are driven by genetic information stored in the DNA, and their expression driven by different factors. The soft computing approach recognizes the different patterns in DNA sequence and try to assign the biological relevance with available information.The book also focuses on using the soft-computing approach to predict protein-protein interactions, gene expression and networks. The insights from these studies can be used in metagenomic data analysis and predicting artificial neural networks.

His current research interest is the genetic analysis of individuals from mental illness families using the whole genome and exome sequence analysis. He completed his PhD in Bioinformatics from CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur, India. He is the author of twelve research articles that have been published in well reputed peer-reviewed international journals. He has developed QR encrypted signature-based matK-QR Classifier software for plant species identification using matK gene sequences and published in BMC BioDataMining journal. For taxonomic classification of 16S rRNA sequences based on QR code encrypted signatures, he has developed a DNA BarID software tool, which is published in Journal of Computational Biology. He is the recipient of the award for outstanding project personnel in CSIR-NEERI, Nagpur India. He has analyzed metagenomes of CETP and Rumen Microbial Fibrolytic Enzymes in Indian Crossbred Cattle metagenome analysis, which was carried out to understand the taxonomic and metabolic potential using various tools and databases. On these work, four research articles are published in different journals viz. Bioresource Technology, AMB Express Journal. He was International Intern at NIBB Institute, Japan and developed combined supervised approach (Naïve Bayesian and homology) for detecting horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events in the microbial community. He did DNA Barcoding studies with respect to construction and analysis of phylogenetic trees of insect pests and published his work in well-reputed journals. He has attended a number of international conferences and published posters on different topics.
