This book is a translation of the original German edition „Bioinformatik” by Dandekar, Thomas, published by

Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine

translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so

that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously

to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the

authors.
