definition
A field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge into a single discipline to analyse biological information using computers and statistical techniques.
For example, Stein (2002) compared the current state of bioinformatics to the warring Italian city-states of the middle ages.
Practical science skills, including bioassay, natural product screening and bioinformatics methodology, are taught to prepare you for the practical research project.
Cancer bioinformatics aims to integrate molecular, biological and clinical knowledge about cancer with analytic methods from bioinformatics.
This requires a large-scale genotyping and bioinformatics program, in crop and model systems, that relates allelic variants to gene function.
This field involves the use of a number of applied and pure sciences, including bioinformatics, biocatalysts, kinetics, mass and heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
