*The use of computers to collect,analyze, and interpret biological information at the molecular level.
* "The mathematical, statistical and computing methods that aim to solve biological problems using DNA and amino acid sequences and related information. (Fredj Tekaia) "
The difference between Bioinformatics & Computational Biology :
Computational biology = the
study of biology using computational techniques. The goal is to learn new
biology, knowledge about living systems. It is about science.
Bioinformatics =
the creation of tools (algorithms, databases) that solve problems. The
goal is to build useful tools that work on biological data. It is about
engineering.
