Essay about what programming is

Overall, I think programming helped a lot in respect of saving time in a way of doing bioinformatics. I want to explain about what programming is by defining 3 major components related to programming on my own.

First component is coding. Even though it is a simple code, there is no doubt about the fact that code is a basic component of programming such that coding is a way of programming.

Second component is computer. Of course programming itself can have another meaning for like TV program or other things but in bioinformatics, computer process in inevitable. Therefore, it names the coding which is first component as computer coding, too. Computer itself is beyond amazing. Through computer the biology in all over the world are can be accessible and I personally think the computer world made international collaborative project is possible such as Human genome project in Genomics.

Third component is genome (DNA). In bioinformatics DNA or triplet code has a role as a translator between organism and computer. DNA composes of human being and it can be put on the computer too. So I think genome (DNA) is the third, last and most important component of programming in a sense of bio-programming.
