Abstract
In this chapter, bioinformatics is defined, emphasizing the interdisciplinary aspects. There is detailed information regarding the bioinformatics fields such as database design and data mining, sequencing, gene and protein expression, structural bioinformatics, phylogenetic tree construction, biological networks, and their practical application. In addition, tools provided by bioinformatics are described (open-sources and web-based services in bioinformatics, educational programs, and training platforms in bioinformatics). The chapter analyze the path of a bioinformatics student toward entrepreneurship in the US context versus the European context.
