What is Bioinformatics?

Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to the field of molecular biology.

The term bioinformatics was coined by Paulien Hogeweg in 1978 for the study of informatics processes in biotic systems. It is a multidisciplinary science based on the acquisitions of biology and informatics.

Bioinformatics nowadays entails the creation and advancement of databases, algorithms, computational and statistical techniques, and theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data.

Who is involved in bioinformatics?

Bioinformatics includes a scientific community representing competences which revolve around four basic disciplines:

1– Biologists, geneticists, biochemists, and chemists: Participating in scientific projects, using tools and concepts originating from bioinformatics.

2– Mathematicians and statisticians: They develop methods and new formalisms, able to represent, manipulate and quantify biological system components.

3– Computer scientists: They stick to fundamental algorithmic aspects as well as the modeling of knowledge induced from the treatment of biological data. They develop the following technological aspects: 

  • Data management
  • Calculations
  • Man/machine interaction necessary to intensively analyze biological systems.
  • Develop new competence to accelerate research in biology.
