In parallel, bioinformatic tools have emerged in support of the large datasets generated by these high-throughput approaches. Recent technological improvements have enabled the systematic analysis of the virus-host interplay be it on the genomic, the transcriptomic, or proteomic level. To this end, viruses approach and penetrate cells and usurp cellular machineries for their own benefit.

Viruses represent a reduced form of life that depends on host cells for propagation. Virus-Host Interactions: Methods and Protocols covers various aspects of virological research, such as biochemical approaches, including molecular interactions and regulatory mechanisms on the protein as well as the RNA level with a strong focus on the manifold possibilities to study protein-protein interactions, as well as cell biological and immunological methodologies.
