Grids are currently used in many sectors of life sciences, including basic sciences such as genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. This handbook brings together state-of-the art methodologies and developments of grid technologies applied in different fields of life sciences. It considers the use of grid technologies to support research and application of each information level where life science research takes place--a useful reference source for academicians, medical practitioners, and researchers involved in all areas of healthcare technologies.
