Abstract
What is bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is a tool, whereas computational biology is a discipline. Bioinformatics predicts the biological outcome and can be used to compare the biological data, for example, sequence analyses and structure prediction. In a nutshell, bioinformatics predictions can lessen the scale of experimentation. Bioinformatics can be considered as a method to annotate the newly sequenced genomes. It can be well defined in the biological and computational way.
