What is bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is a relatively new and evolving discipline that combines skills and technologies from computer science and biology to help us better understand and interpret biological data.
One field where bioinformatics is especially useful is genomics, which can generate vast quantities of information. Bioinformatics helps to give meaning to the data, which can be used to make a diagnosis for a patient with a rare condition, to track and monitor infectious organisms as they move through a population, or to identify the best treatment for a patient with cancer.
