Role of Computers in Bioinformatics

  • 1633 Accesses

Abstract

Bioinformatics is a new and rapidly evolving discipline that has emerged from the fields of experimental molecular biology and biochemistry, and from the artificial intelligence, database, and algorithms disciplines of computer science (http://www.cs.wright.edu/cse/research/facilities-room.phtml?room=307). There are two possibilities to increase research in Bioinformatics field, one way is to teach computer science to biologists, biotechnologists and the other way is to teach biology to computer scientists. I think both the departments are doing these things in their capacities. It is easy to teach new computer technologies to biologists.
