Abstract
In the past few decades major advances in the fields of molecular biology and genomic technology have led to an explosive growth in the biological information generated by the scientific community. Bioinformatics has evolved as an emerging research direction in response to this deluge of information. It is viewed as the use of computational methods to make biological discoveries, and is almost synonymous with computational biology.
