Abstract
Computational biology/Bioinformatics is the application of computer sciences and allied technologies to answer the questions of biologists, about the mysteries of life. It looks as if computational biology and bioinformatics are mainly concerned with problems involving data emerging from within cells of living beings. It might be appropriate to say that computational biology and bioinformatics deal with application of computers in solving problems of molecular biology, in this context. What are these data emerging from a cell? Four important data are: DNA, RNA and Protein sequences and Micro array images. Surprisingly, first three of them are mere text data (strings, more formally) that can be opened with a text editor. The last one is a digital image which is only indirectly a cellular data (See Fig. 1).
