 Bioinformatics is addition two word, biology and informatics. Bioinformatics deal with biological information(genomic information etc.). Usually this information is analyzed by computer technology(information technology). However, in traditional biology field also deal with biological data and get the information and work with it, expert JongBhak said "Biology is Bioinformatics and Bioinformatics is Biology".

 

 

Principles of Bioinformatics

Bioprogramming

Programming

 Process of making program. It could be the one format of communication. We translate human's language into computer language. picture in bellow shows translation of High-level Language into Low-level language. We can program with different High-level language (C/C++, Perl, Java etc.). Since now, programming is one-way communication because programmer write the language to make programm and computer do what programmer ask.

Bioprogramming

 

Process of creating(Programming) the artificial organism(Program). Bioprogramming is part of programming but handle the biological data and make bio-program(alias artificial organism). Difference between real organism and artificial organism is, organism is made of organic materials and artificial organism is composed of 0 and 1. Biological data can be information of existing organism like  genomic data, muscle movement data, connectome etc. By modeling existing organism, we can make it live inside cyberspace and also we can even create entirely new organism (homo sapiens with wings). To bio-program, researchers commonly use Perl, and made a library "BioPerl" to make bio-programming easy.
