1. Principle of Bioinformatics

Definition of bioinformatics

'Bio-' word orginated from Greek (biography), it means a combining form 'life' . If  'Bio'  play a role of prefix, it indicate and involve life or living organisms.

'informat(ion) + -ics' is information science. It means this science has all processes what informations are gathering, manipulating, storing, retrieving and classifying.

In my own word, the definition of bioinformatics is all processes that information related to living organisms and life are gathering, manipulating, storing, retireving and classifying.
