Bioinformatics
“bioinformatics” was coined by?
by Paulien Hogeweg and Ben Hesper
development of computational methods for studying the structure, function, and evolution of genes, proteins and whole genomes.
Which Definition of Bioinformatics?
Computational methods-based definition
development of methods for the management and analysis of biological information arising from genomics and high throughput experiments.
Which Definition of Bioinformatics?
Management and analysis of biological information -based
definition
computational molecular biology, that uses computational techniques to study the structure, function, regulation, and interactive network of genes and proteins.
Which Definition of Bioinformatics?
Computational molecular biology-based definition
an umbrella term that includes any subdisciplines in biology that uses computer-aided analysis, modeling, and prediction.
Computational biology
Goals of bioinformatic analysis?
- to develop tools that help in the management of and access to data and information.
- Improvements of existing tools and the development of new tools are both driven by the need for greater speed of analysis and to handle increasing
