 1. Definition of Bioinformatics

  Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biologist data. As an interdisciplinary filed of science, bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to study and process biological data. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics)

  Bioinformatics is a discipline of science that analyses, seeks understanding and models the whole life as an information processing phenomenon utilizing energy with methods from philosophy, mathematics and computer science using measurable biological experimental data. -- Jong Bhak

 

2. On-line lecture on informatics (Computational Biology in the 21st Century: Making Sense out of Massive Data)

  Summary - Sequencing data is growing astronomically. However, computing power is not advancing rapidly enough to digest it. So, we need fundamentally better algorithms. So, we need advanced software tools that classify massive data by using new and advanced algorithms. Through this software tools, we can find marker genes of genetic diseases, and model protein-protein interactions for finding physiological mechanisms.
